International Advisory Council

The SDSU International Advisory Council (IAC) exists to facilitate communication about international activities across the university community and to advise and assist the Director of International Affairs in the discharge of his duties.

The IAC consists of representatives of the eight university colleges, the Academic Senate, the Graduate School, Briggs Library, the Honors College, the Office of Diversity Enhancement, a faculty member in International Area Studies, the International Student Advisor, and two students.  The chair of the IAC is the Director of International Affairs.

Council members recommended by college deans are appointed by the two vice presidents with presidential approval, and serve three-year staggered terms.

The Academic Senate representative is appointed by the Senate, and serves a one- to three-year term on the Council.

The two student representatives serve one- to three-year terms.  One student is appointed directly by the SDSU Student Association.  The other student, who must have some international experience, is recommended by the Director of International Affairs, and subsequently appointed by the Student Association.

Members of the IAC can be reappointed.
