The Student Advisory Committee for Education Abroad helps support Education Abroad’s Mission, Vision and Values by providing suggestions, perspectives, and feedback on various aspects of Education Abroad’s operations and offerings.
What: A formal body comprised of students willing to work together, brainstorm, and recommend changes that students want to see to improve, grow, and develop Temple’s Education Abroad services and opportunities. Students will commit to participate for a minimum of one academic year. Each semester, committee members will attend four, one-hour meetings. Members will be assigned activities as preparation for/follow-up to each meeting (approximately 1 hour per meeting).
Why: The committee provides an official way for students to contribute feedback, ideas, and solutions; student input is vital as we aim to offer services and education abroad programs that are impactful, accessible, inclusive and that meet the interests and needs of Temple’s student community.
Who: The committee is made up of at least 12 undergraduate students. We seek:
Students who reflect the breadth and diversity of student academic and personal interests, perspectives, needs, and experiences.
Students who plan to or have already studied abroad, as well as students who do not plan to study abroad but who have an interest in global education.
Students from each class level and from a variety of majors across Temple schools and colleges.
All students interested in making an impact on Education Abroad are encouraged to apply. Applications for the following academic year typically open in March.
