AAIE 2018 Conference Wrap-Up

We want to thank everyone for making the 2018 Alabama Association of International Educators Conference a great success last week.  

 

117 International Education professionals attended the one-day conference on Thursday, April 12, 2018 on the UA Campus.

 

During the day, there were 23 session presentations, which covered the spectrum of International Education - Enrolment Management, Education Abroad, Leadership, and International Student and Scholar Services. You can access the session materials and handouts here: AAIE 2018 Conference Materials and Handouts.

 

CONFERENCE EVALUATION FORM 

For those who attended, we ask that you please complete a brief evaluation online. Your comments and input will enable us to better plan and execute future conferences. Please take just a few minutes to complete the AAIE 2018 Satisfaction Survey.

 

UPDATED AAIE CONSTITUTION
During the business luncheon, the AAIE Membership voted to update the AAIE Constitution to include three changes:

1. Formally separate the Secretary/Treasurer position into separate positions (originally approved by the AAIE Membership during the 2014 AAIE Conference in Troy, AL);
2. Include provisions for removal of AAIE Leadership in instances of departure from the state, field of International Education, and when action is deemed to have been harmful to the Association; and
3. The formal creation of the Communications Coordinator position.

You can now access the updated Constitution in the Documents Section of the Site and here: AAIE Constitution.

NEW AAIE LEADERSHIP
During the conference, the following leadership positions were elected by the membership:

• Chair-Elect - Justin Lampley, University of Alabama - Birmingham (UAB)
• Treasurer - Hannah Rowe, The University of North Alabama
• Communications Coordinator - Caroline McLean, Birmingham-Southern College
