McMaster internationalization (future) leaders: U21 Awards now live!

Similarly to the process for other U21 programs, the OIA will facilitate the nomination with McMaster faculties for U21 Awards that celebrate the achievements of individuals or teams showing great impact in internationalization and/or education or research in higher education and Leaders of the Future- Students and Alumni which celebrates the achievements of either current students or recent alumni at U21 member universities who show great promise or impact in internationalisation.

For U21 Awards, this year’s themes are Climate Action and Inclusive Global Engagement open to candidates that have contributed to Climate Action or Inclusive Global Engagement through internationalisation and/or education or research in higher education, the impact of the work and determination to go above and beyond their expected deliverables.

Leaders of the Future is open to current undergraduate or postgraduate student at a U21 member university or young alumni who have graduated from a U21 member university within the last 10 years. Nominees may have previously received local recognition as ‘student/alumni of the year’, or equivalent, but that is not a requirement for nomination.

Voting is open until Friday, 17 January 2025 and the winners will be announced at the U21 Annual Network Meeting & Presidential Symposium UC Davis in May 2025.
