UW-L's Office of International Education's Global Link Scholarships Program
received the Best Practice Award in the International Programming Category
(Domestically-Sponsored Program) at the National Association of Student
Personnel Administrators (NASPA) 15th International Symposium on Student
Services & Student Affairs March 7 in Chicago. Global Link Scholarships are
awarded to international students each semester based on the student’s
previous semester’s GPA and their participation in a minimum of two "culture
sharing activities."
Activities include coffee hour presentations, bulletin board displays,
classroom panel discussions, International Awareness Week, Global Fridays
and Monthly Culture Day, and La Crosse's Oktoberfest Parade.
“It's an honor for UW-L to be recognized by NASPA, an organization with over
11,000 members, as a leader in international programming," says Cynthia
Scarpa, International Student Adviser in UW-L's Office of International
Education. "The scholarship demonstrates UW-L’s commitment to
internationalize the campus and the La Crosse community. We're so grateful
to have the support of the UW-L student body. Without them, this program and
this award would not be possible.”
