Peter Briggs, Director of the MSU Office for International Students and Scholars, responded: "I am so pleased for this recog-nition of your service to our international students.  What a great tribute.  It seems especially fitting that the nomination was initiated by a student who knows full well the meaning of the work you do.  Thank you, as always, for all you do."
