In most cases, the salary is equivalent to hiring adjunct faculty equal to a full time position. Likewise, having your faculty participate in an outgoing exchange generates outside income that may be used to hire replacement adjunct faculty. IILE participants can bring a wealth of international experience and perspective to your institution. The short-term obligation of the program allows you to vary the ethnic and international mix of faculty and administrators from year to year. IILE interchanges offer you a way to make a short term commitment to increasing faculty or administrators in a program.
Interchanges can be as short as one month, a semester, or as long as one academic year.
Developing an international staff, even through short-term interchanges, can build the relationships and contacts to build an international student presence. Interchanges with foreign institutions will add experience and depth to your resume and energize you professionally. An IILE interchange will immerse you in the culture and practices of professionals such as yourself in another country. You can select up to six preferred IILE member sites which we will contact for you, or you can leave your application open for all IILE members to consider. IILE can put you in touch with member institutions for a study tour of less than four weeks to shadow a colleague in another country or state.
