IIE Europe Award for Excellence in International Education 2012
 
 
We are very pleased to announce that this year's award for Excellence in International Education has been awarded to Anthony C. Gooch in recognition of his establishment and continued support of the Klein Family Scholarships, which provide full financial support to talented Hungarian students to study at Sewanee: The University of the South.

 

The Klein Family Scholarships were conceived of in 2003 by Mr. Gooch's late wife, Linda B. Klein, who was of Hungarian descent on her father's side.  The scholarships are permanently endowed by gifts to the University of the South made by Ms. Klein herself and by Mr. Gooch and others to honor her memory.  The University generously provides partial matching of ongoing gifts and the endowment income, which makes the program possible. Klein Family Scholarships have been awarded each year from 2007-2012 to a Hungarian student - six graduates of some of the top high schools in five different cities in Hungary.

 

By helping to establish and support the Klein Family Scholarships, Mr. Gooch has furthered IIE's mission of fostering mutual understanding through the international exchange of students, and contributed to promoting closer educational relations between the United States and Europe.

Projects can be implemented anywhere worldwide, except the U.S. or Canada.  For information on how to be listed as a potential host for Whitaker grantees, please contact [email protected].

Global Engineering Education Exchange

 

Now in its 17th year, the Global Engineering Education Exchange (Global E3) offers the opportunity for colleges and universities to participate in the leading international consortium for undergraduate engineering study abroad.   Global E3 is a study abroad opportunity for undergraduate (and some graduate) engineers to be exchanged between top U.S. and international engineering programs. Students in the program take engineering coursework in an international setting while paying tuition at home.  More than 30 U.S. engineering schools and 30 engineering institutions worldwide are members of this academic exchange consortium.  Participating students (250+ per year) can also apply for some host-country scholarships and internships.  Engineering schools wishing to join the consortium should visit http://www.globale3.org and can contact  [email protected].
