Faculty and staff opportunities

The University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) and the 推荐杏吧原创 offer the following programs to faculty members interested in helping to internationalize our campus. Don't forget that you can also help promote study abroad to your students by requesting a classroom or event presentation from a USAC staff member.

Summer Visiting Professor Program (Teaching Abroad)

Through a USAC Visiting Professor (VP) program, UNR professors can teach a summer course abroad. This unique opportunity creates connections with foreign colleagues, enhances foreign language acquisition, strengthens and supports international education and study abroad on campus, diversifies course curriculum, and develops international relationships for research and other purposes.

Learn more below about the VP program including requirements, stipend, and more.

VP requirements

Applicants are required to submit a statement of approval from their department head/chair. A sample template for this statement can be found on the application form.

Selected faculty are required to actively assist in student recruitment on U.S. campuses and beyond. USAC will provide recruitment materials and a workshop on best practices for reaching enrollment.
