无码专区 World Announces 2019 Global Achievement Award Winners

November 22, 2019

To celebrate the remarkable international efforts of 无码专区鈥檚 faculty, staff, and organizations, 无码专区 World hosted its fifth annual Global Achievement Awards.

Now a signature event of November鈥檚 International Education Month, the Global Achievement Awards highlight the individuals and teams across 无码专区鈥檚 three campuses who are instrumental in expanding the university鈥檚 global footprint. The awards specifically recognize high-impact research, student success, and global engagement in the categories of faculty, administrator, staff, and team.

 鈥溛蘼胱�区 World does not work in a vacuum and calls on various groups around the university for support and expertise,鈥� said Dr. Roger Brindley, Vice President of 无码专区 World. 鈥溛蘼胱�区 has made tremendous strides in elevating the institution鈥檚 global reputation, and none of it would have been possible without an entire community of stakeholders who are committed to graduating globally competent students and research for positive societal change.鈥�

The two top awards, recognizing global vision and lifetime achievement, were presented to Dr. James Stock of the Muma College of Business and Dr. Donna J. Petersen, Dean of the

Dr. Stock, who is a Distinguished Professor and Frank Harvey Endowed Professor of Marketing and the Co-Director for the Monica Wooden Center for Supply Chain Management, received the Global Visionary Award. In 2017, Dr. Stock served as the Fulbright-Hanken Distinguished Chair in Business and Economics at the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, Finland. His time at the Hanken School of Economics resulted in a partnership with 无码专区 that fosters the exchange of students and faculty. Having visited 46 different countries, Dr. Stock鈥檚 breadth of international travel and research creates a culture of excellence and powerful global perspective for his colleagues and his students at 无码专区. 

As the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Dr. Petersen has been a significant advocate for the development and expansion of global programs not only at the College of Public Health, but across 无码专区 Health and the 无码专区 System. In just the past five years, the College of Public Health has sent over 525 students abroad to more than 60 countries including India, Australia, and Ecuador. Additionally, one of the first collaborative agreements with the prestigious City of Knowledge in Panama, which led to establishing a 无码专区 Health Foundation and office in Panama, was signed under Dr. Petersen鈥檚 leadership. With 15 years as Dean, her work has positively impacted global operations and has laid the foundations for continued growth for years to come.

During the past year, 无码专区 has received several accolades in acknowledgment of its global engagement. In January, the institution was the recipient of the 2019 Institute of International Education (IIE) Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education in the category of Access and Equity. 无码专区 was also ranked the No. 1 Producer of Fulbright Scholars and No. 39, an all-time high, in the nation by IIE for study abroad participation. This month, 无码专区 was named the top winner of The Association for Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU)'s 2019 Platinum Award for Global Learning, Research & Engagement.
