Faculty And Staff Orientations And Disciplinary Trainings For Study Abroad Programs
Faculty and Staff Orientations for Study Abroad Programs
GT faculty and staff who will be organizing, directing, coordinating, teaching, assisting, and/or participating in a GT faculty-led study abroad program are required to attend the Faculty and Staff Orientation organized by OIE. This orientation is presented in collaboration with Legal Affairs, Student Affairs, Human Resources, and Risk Management. The session is intended to serve as a guide for faculty and staff members who will be dealing with the various challenges of leading GT students abroad on a faculty-led program. There is one meeting offered for Spring program faculty/staff in November. Two options are offered for fall, academic year, and summer programs - the first in January and the second in February, faculty and staff need only attend one of these. For specific dates, times and locations of this year's orientations, please visit OIE's events calendar.

Disciplinary Training
GT Faculty and staff who will be handling disciplinary issues, as well as other student affairs responsibilities while abroad, should attend this training presented each March or April by the Dean of Students and the GT Office of Student Affairs. The Dean will be available to provide her expertise and advice on how to deal with this aspect of programs abroad. For specific dates, times and locations of this year's Disciplinary Training for faculty and staff, please visit OIE's events calendar.
