Illinois Abroad Policy Committee

The Illinois Abroad Policy Committee (IAPC) plays a critical role in the development of the campus best practices for education abroad.

Looking ahead to the 2020-2021 academic year, informed by recommendations of both the 2019 Study Abroad Task Force report, as well as the 2019-2020 Implementation Committee end-of-year report submitted to the Provost and Associate Provost and Vice Provost for International Affairs & Global Strategies, the IAPC shall be disbanded with immediate effect. The new campus-wide committee, Illinois Global Education Abroad Committee, has been established and will address both policy and operations through its various subcommittees.
