Annual Awards
SAIS Annual Awards
The CIES Study Abroad and International Students SIG Awards Committee will try to ensure the creation of a broad selection of recipients that speaks to the diversity and inclusion of the CIES membership in terms of geography, institution, gender, and race/ethnicity.
All CIES members are invited to make nominations. Self-nominations are also welcome. Nominations should be made with the prior approval of the candidate and should include basic background information about why you believe that the nominee is worthy of an award.
The 2025 Annual Award winners have been announced! Please join us in congratulating this year's winners!
