The Institute of International Education (IIE) is delighted to invite IIE member institutions to nominate your program for the 2012 Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education. We look forward to receiving your nominations and to learning about the creative ways that you and your campuses are responding to the challenges of preparing the next generation to think and work on a global basis.

Nomination Deadline: October 14, 2011.

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 2012.

Category 3: Best Practices in International Partnerships
