Award for Global Engagement
The all-University Award for Global Engagement is given to faculty and staff members—active or retired—in recognition of outstanding contributions to global education and international programs in their field, discipline, or the University. In addition to honoring individual faculty and staff members, the award—by identifying excellence in global engagement and by recognizing outstanding work—serves as a resource to other faculty and staff.
The award is sponsored by the Office of the Senior Vice President for System Academic Administration and administered by the Office of International Programs.
