The Senior International Officer Network
(SIO Network)

History

In 2023, a group of international educators representing dozens of Pennsylvania higher education institutions convened for a discussion centering on collaboration, cooperation, and building a network across the Commonwealth. That informal meeting was the start of a new era in international education leadership across Pennsylvania. And, in fall 2025, the PACIE Board voted to officially recognize the Senior International Officer Network (The SIO Network) as an affiliate group of PACIE.
