MSU INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS AND COLLEGE OF EDUCATION RECOGNIZED FOR NATIONAL LEADERSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
On November 16, 2004 MSU was awarded the prestigious Goldman Sach Award for International Education-Higher Education Division. The Goldman Sachs award with its $25,000 award money specifically recognized MSU's National Resource Centers outreach initiatives to educators and students through a variety of innovative web-based curricular materials for K-12 educators and students, including LASER.
