The Forum’s Peter A. Wollitzer Advocacy Award was established to honor a Forum member who has been remarkably effective in influencing educational institutions to understand and support education abroad through the dissemination of the Forum’s goals: standards of good practice, data collection and research, curricular development and academic design, and assessment. The award will be given to an individual, but individual achievement pre-supposes institutional efficacy and impact and provides inspiration to the field of education abroad. Awardees can be individuals who work on a U.S. or foreign university campus or for domestic or foreign providers or organizations.
The recipient of the Wollitzer Award in 2007 was Professor R. Michael Paige, of the University of Minnesota. Diane Elton's award citation, presented at the Forum Conference in Austin, TX, noted Dr. Paige's many achievements, accomplishments and dedication on every level to education abroad.
The Forum is proud to congratulate David A. Larsen, Arcadia University CEA, the recipient of the 2008 Wollitzer Award.
Lorna Stern's warm citation for Dr. Larsen spoke of the breadth and depth of his service, and led to a rousing ovation. Dr. Larsen has provided us with some words of appreciation.
