CSU has a long tradition of travel, teaching and research in international destinations. We can all agree that international experiences have life changing impacts on the lives of our students, and the research we do creates positive impacts on the global challenges we face. CSU faculty, employees and students travel internationally for a wide variety of reasons: – for research, teaching, conferences, learning, field experiences, education abroad, and alternative break experiences to name a few.

ITOC membership consists of members from across campus, including Education Abroad, General Counsel, Support and Safety Assessment, Student Affairs, and the Office of Risk Management and Insurance.

ITOC may also hold special meetings to create and adapt procedures related to student travel and to assess topics related to student travel, regional or country risk assessments or other international mobility concerns for the university.
