Administration
International Programs at The University of Iowa
At The University of Iowa, International Programs functions as a catalyst for internationalization and a hub for international activities. In 1997, the Iowa Board of Regents brought international research, instruction and services together under the leadership of an Associate Provost and Dean for International Programs. The Associate Provost and Dean is supported by the IP Associate Dean (responsible for all of IP’s degree or certificate-granting academic programs and research centers/groups, as well as IP grants, fellowships, and faculty development programs), the Director of External Relations, who oversees several IP units, as well as facilitating and administering formal linkages with foreign institutions, an HR Coordinator, and IP Accountant.
IP’s administration receives guidance and input from the IP Executive Committee, which includes faculty representation from all of IP’s constituent academic and research units, as well as from affiliated programs and colleges. Priorities for IP staffing units are informed by the IP Internationalization Committee, which includes the AP/Dean, Associate Dean, director of External Relations, and Accountant, as well as the directors of the Office of International Students and Scholars and the Office for Study Abroad, and the coordinators for International Studies, Outreach, Grants, and Communications.
