WORLD Faculty and Staff Resources

Faculty and staff are critical to developing a more internationalized campus. As part of the Stetson University educational process, you are responsible for the creation of the curriculum and its delivery, the research that is envisioned and conducted, and the design and delivery of the university's outreach and development programs. These, along with our graduates, are the major outcomes of universities. You make choices about the extent to which international aspects are included in your courses, research, and outreach programs. Identify and address the incentives and disincentives associated with these decisions at each of the university's locations. Thus, engaging Stetson University's faculty and staff is essential to expanding their global competence and internationalizing the university.
