Faculty and Staff Immigration Advisory Council

At the U-M International Center, we regularly seek feedback from the University of Michigan community to improve our services. One of the ways we do this is through advisory groups. For information about U-M International Center advisory groups, please contact us at 734.764.9310 or [email protected].

In collaboration with the Office of General Counsel, the Faculty and Staff Immigration Advisory Council provides a formal method for obtaining feedback, guidance, and institutional policy and practice approval from the following central offices and large academic hiring units who have a vested interest in institutional policies and practices that impact foreign national faculty and staff:

  • Academic Human Resources

  • Dearborn campus
  • Flint campus
  • Office of the Vice President and General Counsel
  • Office of the Vice President for Research
