IMPORTANT NOTICE:
CAPA is aware of the incident in London this morning. We are checking in with all students but have no reason to believe any of our students are involved. Our hearts go out to all who have been affected.
We are fully committed to providing our students with an exceptional education abroad experience. The rigor and integrity of our academic programs are guided by advisors vested in the field of international education.
CAPA’s Academic Advisory Board (AAB) is composed of faculty and administrative experts in the field of education abroad and provides counsel on the development and maintenance of our centers. Board members are comprised of representatives of our Schools of Record, as well as senior education abroad professionals who serve as individuals with no implied or explicit expectation that their institutions approve or recommend their students to use our programs. Members of the AAB are not paid for their services.
The AAB members play a substantive role and are key to ongoing quality assurance for all aspects of our programs and receive periodic reports from the Academic Management team, which assists the Board in responding to the needs of our centers.
Every year our Vice President of Academic Affairs asks one of the AAB members to lead an Annual Performance Assessment (APA) for each of our program sites using relevant statistics and documentation – including student evaluations and reports from key staff. Curriculum, program development and student services are the subjects of the review.
