- Serve as an initial point of contact for international and domestic students, scholars, faculty, and staff in the respective unit/department within the College interested in international opportunities;
- Assist domestic students in verifying transfer credits from their study abroad experience (NOTE: where professional advisors exist within any given college, GEO can provide training to advisors to work with study abroad students); and
