International Faculty
In 2005, once again the year has been marked a very active year of hiring international faculty. Appalachian is now the home of over 50 international faculty from countries across the globe. To find out more about the faculty and support
see the Hubbard Center.
International Faculty, Staff, and Spouse Association
The International Faculty, Staff and Spouse Association (IFSSA) supports international faculty, staff and their spouses in their transition to this campus and to this country and in their professional pursuits. The IFSSA also works to recruit more international faculty, staff, and students to campus.
For more information about IFSSA including upcoming meeting dates, please contact Dr. Unal Boya, IFSSA President or Dr. Max Dass, IFSSA Vice-President.
Visiting Scholars
During the 2003/2004 academic year more than 30 international scholars from 20 different countries visited Appalachian. These scholars came representing partner institutions, as participants in conferences or they came to teach in a variety of disciplines for either short term to year or longer periods.
These visits by international faculty, professionals, and even politicians brought a breathtaking array of diversity and international perspective to our campus. For example, when summer school students spent two weeks with the current president of the Polish Senate, Dr. Longin Pastusiak, who also represents Poland at NATO and to the European Union, they were engaged by one of the most active politicians in Europe. Each visiting scholar brings their unique perspective to bear as they engage our students, faculty, and administrative leaders and add diversity to life in our classrooms, offices and campus.
