- Collaborate with the Office of University Marketing and Communications to develop and oversee global marketing strategies that enhance the university's international reputation and visibility, as well as partner with the Office of Advancement on international alumni and donor relations and fundraising efforts.
- Lead efforts to ensure compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations related to global engagement, mitigate risks associated with international activities, and establish protocols and procedures for crisis management related to international programs and activities.
