SiPN's Governance

The SiPN Academic Council seeks to provide SiPN with tangible recommendations regarding academics, program policies, student issues and general programming.

• To serve as a sounding board for current issues in study abroad, and how those issues should affect SiPN programs and services
• To provide feedback for future direction of SiPN editions
• To assess current SiPN policies
• To formally evaluate SiPN sites and programs, and provide recommendations for improvement

Achieving the mission and goals of the SiPN Academic Council should result in the following outcomes:

• Detailed monitoring of program learning outcomes
• Continued excellence in SiPN program offerings
• Further strengthening of SiPN’s policies and student services
• Strategic improvements for stateside operations and program function in Portugal
• Promoting programatic changes based on regular external assessment of program outcomes

SiPN’s Coordination Council (CC) assures the vision and the day-to-day operation established and envisioned by the Academic Council.

Besides SiPN’s On-Site Coordinator, Ricardo Pereira, who will be available every weekday from 9am-5pm in  designated office located at the host-university (+ 24/7 availability for emergency purposes), SiPN’s CC assures a peer-point based strategy so SiPN interests are always physically represented at each school of the network allowing a short lead-period response for all the program and students needs.
