3. OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS VISION AND MISSION
In an interdependent world, International Programs believes it is essential for students, faculty and staff to have the opportunity to become personally and intellectually familiar with the people, ideas and customs of other nations. Such interaction not only promotes a universal perspective and intellectual growth, but it also contributes to the cultural and economic well-being of the university, the state and the nation.
Inbound Mission Statement
The Office of International Programs strives to provide support and services to international students, scholars, and employees that will enable these individuals to lawfully pursue their academic and professional goals at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Education Abroad Mission
The Office of International Programs is committed to fostering and assisting with international educational experiences for KUMC students, faculty and staff. The goal of the Office of International Programs is to support and ensure the safety and success of all international travel experiences.
International Travel/Education Abroad Policy Statement
Because of the complexities of international travel and the need to be aware of Department of State Travel Warnings and other pertinent safety information, it is required that all student international travel be registered with and approved by the Office of International Programs. Owing to the desire to give logistical and safety support for all members of the KUMC community, it is requested that any faculty or staff member participating in international travel as a representative of KUMC, also consult with the Office of International Programs in advance of travel.
