API recently established the API Strategic Academic Advisory Board (SAAB), with the goal of considering innovative perspectives from senior international officers and other senior campus leadership at key US partner institutions. The SAAB will assist API as we evaluate strategies for improving existing programming and as we design or expand new academic experiences. The Strategic Academic Advisory Board complements our existing API Advisory Board, which focuses on a broad scope of programmatic and policy considerations. (Details about our Advisory Board can be found on the Educator page of the API website.)
We are pleased that the following individuals comprise API’s Strategic Academic Advisory Board, and are grateful for the valuable insights they have already shared through our inaugural meeting:
- Samantha Brandauer, Associate Provost and Executive Director of the Center for Global Study and Engagement, Dickinson College
- Betsy Morgan, Provost, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
- Kalpen Trivedi, Vice Provost for Global Affairs, University of Massachusetts Amherst
- Anastasia Vrachnos, Associate Vice Provost for International Initiatives, University of San Francisco
- Heather Ward, Associate Dean for Study Abroad and Exchanges, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
