Faculty Opportunities

Faculty Exchanges

The SCCD has established linkages with institutions abroad in order to facilitate international faculty development and collaboration of curriculum and research as well as traditional faculty exchange. The links below describe several models of faculty exchange including forms.

Below are the four institutions that we are formally linked with including their contact information.

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University is one of Australia's largest, oldest and most successful universities. RMIT boasts almost 50,000 students and 3,000 staff with more than 75,000 alumni. Based in Melbourne, capital of the State of Victoria, RMIT has three main campuses and a technology estate. Through partnerships with colleges, universities and professional associations, RMIT courses are taught in a dozen countries. RMIT is a leader among Australian universities operating internationally, and plans to continue developing that global perspective.

Auckland University of Technology
From its beginnings more than a hundred years ago, the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has positioned itself as one of New Zealand’s largest and most progressive educational institutions. What sets AUT apart in tertiary education are its exceptionally strong relationships with business, industry, the service professions and the community as a whole. Vibrant and dynamic, Auckland University of Technology offers a range of relevant programs from post-graduate, undergraduate, diploma and certificate level to short courses and seminars. It is the emphasis on a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience that provides the hallmark of a tertiary institution which has helped educate more than 600,000 students since 1895.   Email: chris.hawley@aut.ac.nz

Professional Opportunities Abroad

COUNCIL'S INTERNATIONAL FACULTY

Several organizations provide professional development oppotunities for faculty abroad in the form of seminars. These seminars provide short-term, intensive overseas experience for faculty and administrators, hosted by prestigious academic institutions abroad.

Seminars are designed to offer focused updates on global issues and regions that are shaping the course of world events, while introducing faculty to scholarly communities overseas.
