Region XI Awards

Region XI awards were established to recognize members of the NAFSA Region XI community who have been active and engaged within the field of international education by contributing to the region in a significant manner.

A call for nominations occurs every year prior to the regional conference; the Region XI Special Projects Chair oversees the nomination process and will inform the larger community via the Region XI listserv and its Facebook page about how to submit a nomination.

Nominations for all awards come from the NAFSA Region XI members and the selection of the recipients is made by the NAFSA Region XI Leadership Team.
