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. 

Nomination deadline: October 18, 2013. 

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.  

THE HEISKELL AWARD CATEGORIES: 

Category 1: Internationalizing the Campus  
Advancing curriculum development, fostering international opportunities and creatively integrating international students into university life.

Category 2: Study Abroad
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.

Category 3: Best Practices in International Partnerships
Recognizing strategic, comprehensive and innovative international partnership efforts. 

Category 4: Internationalizing the Community College Campus  
Creating innovative programs and services, including study abroad, to make international opportunities accessible to community college students.  (IIE & AACC members are eligible to apply.)

Note: With the exception of Category 1, please submit nominations which focus on particular programs or initiatives, rather than including all campus programs in one nomination.
