Faculty and Professional Staff
Opportunities
JMU's Office of International Programs is committed to promoting
and supporting international experiences for faculty and professional
staff as well as students. Indeed, the success of campus-wide internationalization
efforts depends upon the creativity and commitment demonstrated
in faculty and staff courses, research, and service that promotes
an international context and perspective. The benefits of an internationalized
faculty and professional staff are many. Participation in international
endeavors promotes collaboration, connectivity, interdisciplinarity,
creativity and the global competence of our students.
The oIP supports JMU faculty and staff members in many different
ways including the development of short-term study abroad and student
exchange programs, identification of external funding sources, creation
of partnerships on grants and other external projects, identification
of international contacts through our consortium and other sites,
the development of internationalized curricula, and the provision
of financial support for international travel and program development.
If you are interested in pursuing global engagement to a greater
degree, please see the information at the links to the left or contact
the oIP Executive Director, Lee Sternberger, at 568-7002 or sternblg@jmu.edu
for further assistance.
