About the Series

AIEA seeks to capture the experiences and viewpoints of SIOs and to learn about the personal and professional journeys that have brought them to their current positions. In the past several decades, the international higher education landscape has grown increasingly diverse, both in terms of the types of institutions represented and those who serve in leadership roles. AIEA seeks to present the full breadth and variety of SIO pathways and perspectives, to add nuance to our understanding of who already serves in SIO roles, and to provide an inspiration and model for others who may be considering such a career path.
