University International Activities Council

The University International Activities Council (UIAC) was created to provide better coordination and communication among and between the UW–Madison schools and colleges on international education. The UIAC consists of a representative of each academic school/college, generally the associate or assistant dean responsible for international education or faculty who play a leadership role in international education in their school. The UIAC meets at least once a semester to share information and best practices, and advise the Dean of International Studies on how best to advance the campus goal of accelerating internationalization.
