Faculty Study Abroad Ambassadors (FSAAs) ensure that our ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú State faculty community is aware of the study abroad opportunities available to our students as well as the opportunities for our faculty to teach and participate in professional development abroad. FSAAs have been invaluable in partnering with the Education Abroad Office to both educate students and departmental faculty and to create materials and programs. 

FSAAs: 

• Serve as a point of contact for faculty who wish to teach abroad

• Serve as a point of contact for students within their academic department

• Know the Education Abroad resources available for students in their department

• Serve as a conduit between the Education Abroad Office and the academic department for dissemination of deadlines, opportunities for teaching abroad, credit equivalencies for study abroad students, and curriculum integration for study abroad within the department
