NAFSA Study Abroad Task Force Chair, Members Announced

WASHINGTON, September 11, 2007 – NAFSA President Ron Moffatt has appointed John Hudzik, vice president for global engagement and strategic projects at Michigan State University, to chair a NAFSA task force that will examine institutional management issues in study abroad, the association announced today.

The NAFSA task force, which includes international education leaders representing a variety of institutional types, is charged with recommending “core principles, values, and behaviors for senior campus administrators to consider as they develop policies and practices to guide the management of the study abroad function.”  The task force will consider four principles in its work:

  • Serving the best interest of the student
  • Advancing the institution’s commitment to learning through international experiences
  • Fostering the educational integrity of the institution
  • Preserving the financial stability of both study abroad programs and the institution as a whole

The task force is expected to issue its final report in mid-December.
