As part of International Education Week, Purdue\u2019s Office of Global Partnerships (OGP) and Global Academic Committee (GAC) has named Purdue Veterinary Medicine\u2019s Director of Global Engagement Will Smith, II, MA as one of two inaugural winners of Purdue\u2019s Outstanding Leadership in Globalization Awards.  The awards are university-level awards given annually to recognize one staff member and one faculty member for their dedicated efforts to increase Purdue\u2019s global recognition as a leader in higher education. Globalization in this context is defined as developing, facilitating, and maintaining programs and activities in partnership with universities, agencies, and private-sector constituents outside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the awards recognize endeavors that involve faculty and\/or students from Purdue and international counterparts in learning, discovery, and\/or engagement. In describing Will\u2019s accomplishments, PVM Associate Dean for Engagement Sandra San Miguel said, \u201cWill\u2019s leadership and expertise was directly responsible for exponential growth in the number of study abroad experiences, the quality of those experiences, and the number of faculty, staff, and students engaged in study abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other award recipient is Dr. David Schoorman, associate\ndean for executive education and global programs and professor of management in\nthe Krannert School of Management, who also teaches in the Veterinary Practice\nManagement Program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Outstanding Leadership in Globalization Awards were created to further reinforce the importance of the global outreach undertaken by Purdue faculty and staff.  The awards demonstrate the institution\u2019s commitment to the Purdue Moves initiatives of promoting world-changing research and transformative education, for the benefit of the entire Purdue community of faculty, staff, and students as well as stakeholders abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OGP and GAC are now accepting faculty and staff nominations for the 2020 Outstanding Leadership in Globalization Awards for impact relevant to any or all of the academic mission categories of learning, discovery, and engagement. These monetary awards are open to all categories of full-time University faculty and staff members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
