The purpose of the committee is to review and provide feedback to the Director of Study Abroad & Away (SAA) on proposals submitted by faculty to lead Faculty-Led Programs through the Study Abroad and Away office. Committee members lend their expertise to provide a critical, holistic review of proposals and ensure that the programs proposed are adhering to the educational and programmatic standards expected of all Study Abroad and Away programs.
