Global Matters Advisory Committee (GMAC)
The Global Matters Advisory Committee (GMAC) is an important source of input and guidance about the interests of USF's student body. The advisory committee plays a key role in representing student interests related to international education, study abroad, and the international student experience by communicating student priorities to the Office of International Initiatives (OII), serving as ambassadors, gathering student input, and actively participating in programs and events.
The advisory committee will give students broad familiarity with the field of global education and international student issues and will provide a meaningful opportunity to develop important leadership skills such as strategic thinking, decision‐making, facilitation, presentation skills, and organizational experience.
GMAC Mutual Commitment:
The advisory committee meets on average once a month (1.5 hours per meeting) during the academic year, responds to requests for feedback or input from the Office of International Initiatives, and may be asked to meet additionally throughout the year as needed. The total time commitment for participants is estimated at 20 hours, with additional time as required per semester for two semesters. Advisory committee members should be prepared to commit for two semesters. The position provides a modest financial award in recognition of the nature of the position as a leadership role and investment on the part of student representatives.
