Deadline: October 19, 2019.

IIE created these awards in 2001 to promote and honor the most outstanding initiatives being conducted in international higher education by IIENetwork member universities and colleges. We are particularly interested in highlighting innovative initiatives or programs that address a specific need, remove institutional barriers, and broaden the base of participation in international teaching and learning on campus

 

CATEGORIES

Category 1: Internationalizing the Campus
Advancing the curriculum development, fostering international opportunities, integrating industry, and driving internationalization of the campus through creative programming. (Note that nominations in this category should be focused on a particular program or initiative as opposed to outlining a broad internationalization plan)

Category 2: Study Abroad
Providing innovative programs and services to make study abroad accessible and equitable for a broader student population.

Category 3: Best Practices in International Partnerships
Recognizing strategic, comprehensive and innovative international partnership efforts that demonstrate strong, sustainable linkages among higher education institutions or other counterparts such as government, local community, NGOs.

Category 4: Internationalizing the Community College Campus
Creating innovative programs and services to make international opportunities accessible to community college students.
