Special Recognition Award
The Special Recognition Award is made to MSU faculty and staff who have contributed to internationalizing the campus and MSU programs globally, but who do not meet the criteria for other International Studies and Programs awards.
Previous recipients of this award have included faculty and staff members recognized for leadership in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study, academic accomplishment and efforts to increase internationalization through the medium of African dance, outstanding contributions to Global Festival, a central role in assisting international officers with technology changes related to the MSU Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), leadership of groups of students and health professionals on medical missions in Mexico, and efforts to enhance MSU's world standing and reputation through the media.
The award is presented as warranted and is not necessarily given every year.
