Faculty Resources

The GEER office provides resources to faculty to support international programs, research and partnerships.

 

Virginia Tech Policy 1070: Global Travel Policy requires all university-supported travelers — including faculty, staff and students — to register their international travel prior to departure. A full list of requirements and instructions are available at this page: https://travel.controller.vt.edu/. Please contact Global Safety & Risk Management at vtglobalsafety@vt.edu with any questions.

If any emergencies arise while abroad, Allie Oberoi, Associate Director for Global Safety & Risk Management, is the primary point of contact for all students and faculty abroad.

If you are a Virginia Tech employee on a work visa (such as H-1B, TN, O-1, etc.), Global Strategic Services (GSS) is available to assist with any questions or concerns before your travel. For any international students (undergraduate or graduate) planning to travel abroad, please refer them to the Cranwell International Center for guidance if they have any concerns.

  • The College has a process for initiating new partnerships and agreements, which requires that the initiating faculty member Propose a new agreement. With this information, our office will draft and finalize the agreement in collaboration with the proposed partner institution, and submit it for review and approval.
