MU International Engagement Awards

The MU International Engagement Awards recognize the outstanding work carried out by faculty, staff, and students to internationalize the University of Missouri. A CII subcommittee evaluates nominations and determine awardees across three categories:

  • International Scholar Contribution to Internationalizing MU
  • Outstanding Staff Contribution to Internationalizing MU
  • Outstanding Student Contribution to Internationalizing MU

The awards recognize meaningful and sustained commitments to international work, whether directly on campus or brought back to the campus from an engagement abroad. In order to demonstrate their effect upon internationalizing the campus, nominees must clearly indicate the concrete impact made upon scholarship, students, or MU programs by their international work.

Additional details are available in the most recent call for nominations.
