University of Wisconsin - Stout

Faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in international education activities through pursuit of teaching, research and service opportunities. Research Services provides assistance in grant seeking to support international project funding, and works collaboratively with the Office of International Education to promote these efforts.

Faculty and staff who are interested in developing an international project or teaching abroad are encouraged to talk with the director of the Office of International Education about their goals and about the process to be followed. Individuals are advised to meet with their department chairperson or supervisor to discuss their interest in international education as part of their professional development plan. Department and college or school approvals are necessary whenever faculty and staff exchange or study abroad teaching is planned.

Arrangements for offering faculty led study abroad courses and for international teaching opportunities usually take one to two years of preparation and scheduling. Faculty and staff are encouraged to consult with the Office of International Education as early as possible to start planning their international education experience.
