The University Design Consortium at Arizona State University is
accepting submissions for the 2010 International Awards for Innovative
Practices in Higher Education.
The Consortium created these awards to honor the most innovative and
successful models under way at universities throughout the world. The

Education’s 92nd Annual Meeting in Phoenix in March 2010.

education and their larger communities, for the mutually beneficial
exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and
reciprocity.
Internationalization: Recognizing innovative
curricular joint ventures, such as study abroad, dual degree programs,
institutional partnerships, international awareness, and hosting
international faculty and students.
Sustainability: Recognizing innovative programs
and projects that meet the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Organizational Design: Recognizing innovative
university reorganization/structure to meet the challenges facing our
world in the 21st century.
