The Institute of International Education (IIE) is delighted to invite you to nominate your program for the 2014 Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education. 

IIE created these awards to honor outstanding initiatives in international higher education by IIENetwork member universities and colleges. IIE's Heiskell Awards showcase the most innovative and successful models for internationalization of campuses, study abroad, and international exchange partnerships in practice today.  There are four award categories for 2014.

Access the Nomination Package here: www.iie.org/Who-We-Are/IIENetwork-Membership/Heiskell-Awards.  

Category 1: Internationalizing the Campus  

Advancing curriculum development, fostering international opportunities and creatively integrating international students into university life.

Providing innovative programs and services to make study abroad accessible to a broader student population. Special emphasis on specific efforts that led to a strong increase in study abroad participation.
