Dear Colleagues,
I write to ask for your assistance in nominating potential recipients for the University’s prestigious International Achievement Awards. These five awards provide us with a remarkable opportunity to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of deserving alumni, faculty, and current students for their globally-focused work and/or scholarship.
These awards are supported by Madhuri and Jagdish Sheth and Professor Emeritus Charles Stewart. Awards are solicited in five categories: international alum, current faculty member, young humanitarian/alum, graduate student, and undergraduate student. Graduate and undergraduate students may also self-nominate with the support of a faculty or staff member.
Submitting a nomination for a colleague or student is simple and can be completed online via our website at go.illinois.edu/intlachievementawards. Nominations will be accepted through May 1, 2020.
I hope you will consider nominating a colleague or student for an award. Please feel free to share the attached announcement with others and encourage them to submit a nomination. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Illinois International’s Global Communication team at iip-globalcom@illinois.edu.
