The newly elected chair will be responsible for guiding the committee's activities and advocating for international initiatives within the university community.

According to the policy, at least three of these members must be faculty members, ensuring faculty representation and expertise in the subcommittee's deliberations. The announcement of the specific subcommittee was not immediately available, but the appointment of members is a key step in ensuring its proper functioning and contribution to the university's goals.

The outcomes of this meeting will undoubtedly influence the university's international engagement efforts in the coming year.
