MSU international outreach programs and College of Education recognized for national leadership in international education

On November 16, 2004 MSU was awarded the prestigious Goldman Sach Award for International Education-Higher Education Division. The Goldman Sachs award with its $25,000 award money specifically recognized MSU's National Resource Centers outreach initiatives to educators and students through a variety of innovative web-based curricular materials for K-12 educators and students. In addition, the Goldman Sach's award jury highlighted the collaborative efforts of MSU's College of Education and MSU's international and area studies center in internationalizing pre-service teacher education through the infusion of area and international content into a required undergraduate teacher education course and through five study abroad programs for teacher education students in Africa, Australia and Europe.
