Strengthening Study Abroad: Recommendations for Effective Institutional Management for Presidents, Senior Administrators, and Study Abroad Professiona

The press release for this report from the National Association for Study Abroad (NASFA), which is endorsed by several presidents' organizations, states: "'As study abroad continues to grow, and as demand for study abroad expands, it is the responsibility of institutional leadership to undertake a deliberate and proactive approach to developing and supporting this important component of the education of today's college students�. Attention, involvement, and commitment at the highest levels of an institution's leadership are vital to the success and growth of study abroad.' The report urges campus leaders to confront a set of 'specific challenges that virtually all institutions face,' setting out fourteen criteria for the institutional management of study abroad in four major categories: institutional commitment; infrastructure; resources; and clarity and accountability."
