The University of Minnesota Twin Cities Education Abroad Network includes and serves professional advisers, student services staff, faculty members, administrators, and others involved with education abroad. Meetings will be organized and convened by the Learning Abroad Center, but the agenda will be open to issues and topics identified by the entire group and relevant to a majority of participants. Preference will be given to sharing of practices, benchmarking, and updates to foster communication and expanded, multidisciplinary collaboration in regard to study abroad. Meetings are usually held twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.
