About Us
Internal Advisory Groups
As a unit that serves the entire university across both campuses, USF World works closely with chosen college representatives and advisory group members to ensure that the international activities of USF faculty and students are as productive and safe as possible.
The two main advisory bodies to USF World:
- Global College and Campus Representatives
- Elevated Risk Travel Request (ERTR) Approval Team
These advisory groups are responsible for ensuring that global learning, international research, and travel-oriented concerns of the broader USF community are addressed and resolved in a timely manner.
USF World would like to thank those that serve on these advisory bodies:
Global Stewards are necessary for USF to successfully operate as a global research university dedicated to student success. Current members can find the most recent meeting notes and presentations on the Global Stewards & Engagement Updates page.
