AIEA seeks to broaden the knowledge base and perspectives of IE leaders by sharing with them substantive and practical information about various aspects of the international office. While leaders typically oversee multiple operations, they are generally responsible for the day-to-day management of only a few of them. This series enriches familiarity with the areas covered and better prepares them to engage with their peers as well as their colleagues within the department or on campus.
Note: the series name was “What SIOs Should Know About...” prior to September 2025.
