Dr. Keys-Mathews moved to approve the minutes for the October 5, 2009 meeting, Dr. Wilson seconded. The minutes were unanimously approved. Dr. Keys-Mathews moved to approve the agenda for the November 2, 2009 meeting, Dr. Baird seconded. The agenda was unanimously approved. III. Old Business A. Copies of the 2008-2009 Study Abroad Handbook were passed out to the Committee. The Committee was told that the Office of International Affairs is in the process of revising the Handbook for the 2010 spring semester and should have a draft for the Committee to review soon. B. Concern was expressed for how students should receive their $800 travel awards. Dr. Wilson explained that a few administrative members prefer crediting student accounts, but nothing has been finalized. Dr. Takeuchi said that the decisions related to the disbursement of money (travel awards) should be made administratively, not by the IPO Committee. Dr. Vance suggested that travel awards could go to study abroad agency fund accounts instead of going to individual student accounts. Concern was expressed for whether a student should receive the entire $800 if his/her airplane ticket did not amount to that. IV. New Business. A. Dr. Keys-Mathews asked that the Committee look at final SACS Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) proposals online. Her proposal Global Awareness has been selected as one of three proposals that the University will consider for implementation across disciplines. She asked Committee members to consider supporting this initiative in writing. B. Dr. Zhang talked about quality control and promoting faculty-led study abroad programs. He explained that very few students currently study abroad, and that UNAs short-term goal is to have 1% or 70.3 students studying abroad in a year. Strategies to increase study abroad include advertising study abroad programs in the GUC, distributing inquiry forms at Preview Day, increasing awareness of Magellan trips, and encouraging more faculty-led study abroad programs. Dr. Zhang handed out several promotional flyers created by the Office of International Programs. Dr. Zhang talked about the development of future policies and procedures regarding travel abroad. He plans to create an institutional infrastructure by holding a day orientation (covering health issues and other topics of interest) for all study abroad participants. Study abroad participants will share some similar experiences, regardless of travel destination. The IPO Committee will approve study abroad programs and their credit-bearing courses in the future. Other goals include giving students monetary incentives to travel abroad, such as $100 for a passport, $150 towards getting a visa, and an $800 travel award. Dr. Zhang asked the Committee to suggest incentives that would motivate more faculty members to lead travel abroad programs in the future. Suggestions included receiving credit for teaching one summer course (or two), compensation for the faculty members room and board while abroad, and compensation for his/her airplane ticket. Dr. Zhang would like the IPO Committee to draft specific policies regarding study abroad. Dr. Takeuchi asked if there are any templates or policies in place at other universities that the Committee could use as a model. Dr. Zhang will provide some samples for the Committee. The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 p.m. The Minutes were kept by Claudia Vance, Vice Chair. 26@EFNOPbfrv- . / xj\xxx\jK h(chgCJOJQJ^JaJh2YCJOJQJ^JaJh<,CJOJQJ^JaJ h(chCJOJQJ^JaJhQCJOJQJ^JaJ h(ch5CJOJQJ^JaJ#h(chO4B5CJOJQJ^JaJ#h(chM 5CJOJQJ^JaJh<,5CJOJQJ^JaJ#h(ch5CJOJQJ^JaJ#h(ch55CJOJQJ^JaJ+OP. / g h CDVgddj8^8gd^P-DM ^gd^P -DM gdJ -DM gd5q^gd<,^gd^Pgd5qgdKgd5$a$gd5$/ 3 7 ?
