Purpose
The UTIA International Advisory Council (IAC) serves to advise and provide strategic planning support for the Smith Center in international programs across teaching, research and extension/outreach, and to liaise with UTIA units about ongoing and upcoming international activities and opportunities.
Structure
The IAC is comprised of faculty members at UTIA who hold appointments in the Herbert College of Agriculture, College of Veterinary Medicine, AgResearch and/or UT Extension. IAC members are appointed at the invitation of the UTIA Director for International Programs, and with the approval of each faculty member’s department head.
Term lengths
Members of the IAC participate for term lengths of three years. Terms may be renewed. A member leaving the IAC will work with the Smith Center to identify potential faculty from the same unit to rotate into the Council.
Meetings
The IAC meets with the Smith Center twice per year, once in Fall and once in Spring semester.
