CII Executive Committee

As the strategic hub for global engagement in higher education, APLU’s Commission on International Initiatives (CII) is led by an Executive Committee comprised of Senior International Officers and other international education leaders from APLU member institutions across North America.

Executive Committee members spearhead member-led initiatives and collaborate with APLU to guide the Commission’s direction, advise on global engagement efforts, and shape the agenda for the CII Summer Meeting and sessions at the APLU Annual Meeting.

The Executive Committee is led by the presidential chair of the Commission and two Executive Committee co-chairs. Executive Committee members serve a three-year term.
