The Faculty Advisory Board members include key colleagues from the Provost’s Global Study Abroad (PittMAP) initiative; the School of Arts and Sciences (including Sociology and the World History Center); and professional schools including Business, Education, Law, Public Health and Public and International Affairs. The Board’s membership will rotate to new faculty every other year and in the future will include members from the Schools of Nursing and Social Work.
Faculty contributions ensure that the GSC continues to have an innovative impact on the University community by strengthening its internal programs, and encouraging the exchange of ideas and research through a support network of scholars. The Board provides valuable guidance and perspective as we advance toward our goals at the local, regional, national and international levels. Members are encouraged to promote our programs and those of partner departments, foster student involvement and share the vision of an internationally respected resource center with its doors open to all. Through our curricular initiatives, lectures and events, outreach efforts, and faculty funding opportunities, we work to serve our faculty partners and to develop a network that brings together academic perspectives within and amongst our affiliated schools and departments.
