A College of Engineering alumnus and a staff member are two of nine named as recipients of the 2025 MSU International Awards, presented by International Studies and Programs. Now in its 35th year, the International Awards program recognizes individuals whose work and service embody MSU’s mission to advance knowledge and transform lives across the globe.
“This year’s honorees reflect the many unique ways Spartans make a global impact—from longtime researchers and educators to emerging leaders who are just beginning their international journeys,” said Titus Awokuse, vice provost and dean for International Studies and Programs. “Together, they represent values at the heart of MSU’s global engagement: collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to making a positive difference across borders and cultures.”
ISP will celebrate the winners at the 2025 MSU International Awards Ceremony on Thursday, April 17 at 3:30 p.m. at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center. The event welcomes all members of the MSU community who share a commitment to global understanding and impact.
