UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State Global is now accepting nominations for the 2022 Advancing Global Penn State Awards, including the first Penn State Global Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as for the annual W. LaMarr Kopp International Faculty Award and the Ardeth and Norman Frisbey International Student Awards.
Recipients will be recognized at the Penn State Global awards luncheon in the spring.
Advancing Global Penn State Awards
The purpose of the Advancing Global Penn State Awards is to recognize outstanding contributions of individuals and academic units across the University, including the Commonwealth Campuses, who have demonstrated success toward achieving the goals of a global Penn State.
There are six awards for the 2022 award season. These exciting awards reflect the unprecedented times that we have lived through over the last two years and feature, for the first time, a Lifetime Achievement Award. All are welcome to nominate a colleague or provide a self-nomination. Nominees are encouraged to review these new award descriptions carefully at:
The Penn State Global Lifetime Achievement Award
Outstanding International Research Award
The Early Career Faculty Award
The Global Learning Instructor Award
The deadline to submit nominations online is Jan. 20, 2022, and full application packages are due by Feb. 1, 2022.
W. LaMarr Kopp International Faculty Award and the Ardeth and Norman Frisbey International Student Awards
The Kopp and Frisbey awards are designed to recognize those at Penn State who make extraordinary contributions to the advancement of the international mission of the University. Nominees for the Kopp Award must be a full-time faculty member, and Frisbey Award nominees must be full-time students with non-immigrant status.
The W. LaMarr Kopp International Faculty Award recognizes one faculty member for excellence in leadership, commitment and international education through research, teaching and service. Last year, Michael Jacobson, professor of forest resources, was awarded the faculty award.
Up to four international students (holding non-immigrant status) will be selected for the Ardeth and Norman Frisbey Awards. Graduate and undergraduate students are encouraged to apply, with consideration given to students enrolled in any academic program at any Penn State campus who have exhibited exemplary contributions furthering international understanding.
