On February 9, 2012, UNCG honored its international degree-seeking students with a reception and awards ceremony that recognized outstanding academic achievement. The reception, organized by Michael Elliott, Director of International Students and Scholars Services, was attended by approximately 40 graduate and undergraduate students.  Dr. Laura Chesak, Associate Dean of the Graduate School, and Dr. Brad Teague of INTERLINK were among those present to celebrate the students. In addition to recognizing the contribution of international students to UNCG academics, the awards highlight the students’ roles as international leaders, as they apply their UNCG experience to work they do in the U.S., their home communities, and elsewhere abroad.
