Global Awareness Program
Coordinator, International Progarms, University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas
The Global Awareness Program
(GAP) Coordinator provides a leadership role in developing the
GAP certification program within the context of KU’s new Core Curriculum
for undergraduate education.
The Coordinator directs a
university-wide certification program established in 2003
for undergraduates at the University of Kansas. The coordinator
coordinates a faculty advisory committee and is the program advisor for
several hundred students, who have registered for GAP. The GAP
coordinator determines when a student has completed all the required
program components and notifies the Registrar for GAP certification
on the official KU transcript. Regular advising includes ongoing
communication with program participants via email and in person, office
appointments, monitoring student progress toward meeting
program goals, and reviewing
student portfolios. The Coordinator is responsible for maintaining
and reporting annual data to the Office of the Provost, promoting the
program campus wide and recruiting students to the program through various
methods. The GAP coordinator also maintains a program website and
database, and approves classes and co-curricular activities with an
international
dimension for GAP eligibility.
It is crucial that the GAP coordinator work effectively with
faculty, administrators and students across campus and act as a
liaison between International Programs
and the broader university.
