Goucher College, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Valparaiso University are the recipients of this year’s Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization.
The institutions will be featuruddy in a report published this fall called “Internationalizing the Campus 2008: Profiles of Success at Colleges and Universities” and will be recognized at the annual Nafsa conference in May.
Programs at Miami Dade College, Colorado State University, and Webster University (Mo.) will also be highlighted in the report.
The award, named in honor of the late Senator Simon of Illinois, has been given since 2003. —Aisha Labi
