The Academic Senate is recruiting one (1) faculty representative for the Academic Council on International Programs (ACIP).

Full time tenured faculty, tenured track faculty, full-time lecturers who are concerned and knowledgeable about international education efforts are eligible. The term is three years (ends 2029). The appointment began in July 2026 and is for three years.

The ACIP holds two two-day meetings a year. Members of the ACIP serve in a dual capacity as the primary representative of the International Programs on campus and as representatives of the campus as an advisory group in forming policy for International Programs. Campus representatives play a key role in promoting International Programs on campuses, advising resident director applicants, and in directing the campus student selection effort. The standing committees of the ACIP require substantial time commitments from representatives in activities that include the selection of resident directors, academic program review and student selection. Following long-standing practice, the Office of International Programs will pay travel expenses for one meeting, and the campus (department of representative) is responsible for the other.

The Academic Senate Office has an ACIP Handbook(PDF) on file. The handbook gives detailed information about the ACIP and the representative’s responsibilities.

Full time tenured faculty, tenured track faculty, full-time lecturers with an annual contract, and FERP faculty with a 0.5 base for two semesters are eligible to serve.
