Heiskell Awardees
The Institute of International Education (IIE) created the IIE Andrew Heiskell Awards for Innovation in International Education in 2001 to promote and honor outstanding initiatives conducted in international higher education by IIENetwork members. By recognizing excellence and innovation, IIE supports IIENetwork members in their endeavors, encourages the expansion and creation of initiatives based on these successful models, and amplifies the important role of international higher education on campuses and communities. Each winning initiative receives $1,000 to contribute to ongoing success.
For a quarter of a century, IIE has bestowed nearly 100 IIE Heiskell Awards to institutions and organizations around the world that demonstrate the power and longevity of international education through their impactful programs. With honor and esteem, we carry on the legacy of the award’s namesake, Andrew Heiskell, a former Executive Committee member of IIE’s Board of Trustees who was a renowned international and cultural philanthropist and a long-time supporter of international education.
The 2026 IIE Heiskell Award Recipients
University of Florida’s COIL/VE for Staff
In recognition of the vital role that administrative and professional staff play on campus, the University of Florida launched COIL/VE for Staff in 2024, extending the benefits of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and Virtual Exchange (VE) to staff who may have limited access to international mobility and professional opportunities.
The program provides six to eight weeks of structured collaboration with peers abroad to build intercultural competence, digital collaboration skills, and language proficiency while applying global perspectives to real institutional challenges. A cohort-based model creates cross-campus professional networks and cultivates staff advocates for international education while deepening collaboration with partner institutions.
To date, 105 staff members have participated, with cohorts spanning the University of Florida, CEU Cardenal Herrera in Spain, UNESP in Brazil, and UNAM in Mexico. The university is currently developing a comprehensive implementation guide and train-the-trainer program, positioning COIL/VE for Staff as a scalable model for advancing internationalization through staff engagement.
Texas A&M University’s Introduction to Research Abroad (IRAP)
The Introduction to Research Abroad Program (IRAP) at Texas A&M University is a collaborative research and exchange program that enables first- and second-year undergraduate students to address shared challenges facing the United States and Mexico. Through immersive experiences in Yucatán, Mexico, virtual collaboration, and reciprocal exchange, students work alongside peers from partner institutions to develop research proposals on topics such as energy, agriculture, education, and water quality.
A distinctive feature of the program is its emphasis on binational co-creation, cultural immersion through host family experiences, and sustained collaboration, helping students build research skills, global competence, and intercultural understanding at a formative stage in their academic careers.
Supported by the Texas A&M–Yucatán Initiative, the SIIDETEY research consortium, NSF-LSAMP funding, institutional investment, and community partnerships, IRAP has grown into a scalable model for integrating research, global learning, and workforce development.
Since launching in 2015, nearly 600 students have participated, including 468 Texas A&M students and 124 students from Yucatán institutions. With expansion into disciplines beyond engineering, IRAP offers a scalable and replicable framework for institutions seeking to create impactful international education experiences.
University of Kentucky’s Shoulder-to-Shoulder Global (STSG)
Shoulder to Shoulder Global (STSG), a University of Kentucky initiative, has developed a community-driven partnership in Ecuador that integrates education, service, and research to improve health outcomes while providing transformative global learning opportunities. Centered on the Centro de Salud Hombro a Hombro (CSHH) clinic, the program brings together students, faculty, staff, and community partners in interprofessional, short-term global health experiences.
Since 2007, STSG has expanded to involve all University of Kentucky colleges and a broad network of U.S. and Ecuadorian partners. Together, they have provided more than 113,000 medical visits and 25,000 dental consultations to more than 46,000 patients while sustaining year-round healthcare services and advancing global health education, telehealth, research, and cultural exchange.
More than 1,300 learners have participated in the program, with alumni reporting increased intercultural competence, civic engagement, and professional growth; nearly half say the experience influenced their career paths. Supported by a diversified funding model and strong local leadership through the Ecuador-based Hombro a Hombro Foundation, STSG has also generated a network of university, NGO, and government partners. The model has informed similar efforts in other regions of Ecuador, as well as India and Kenya.
Illinois State University’s International Student Teaching and Internships-Global Awareness & Career Readiness Experience
Illinois State University’s International Student Teaching and Summer Internships—Global Awareness & Career Readiness Experience integrates international teaching directly into teacher licensure programs. Launched in 2019, the program offers short-term teaching placements and internships in Taiwan, Spain, Thailand, Panama, and Costa Rica, allowing students to work with multilingual learners and gain cross-cultural teaching experience without delaying graduation.
This hybrid model combines a 10-week domestic student teaching placement with a four- to five-week international experience. Participants benefit from hands-on teaching experience, mentorship from both U.S. and international educators, and opportunities to complete TESOL clinical requirements abroad.
Through scholarships, grants, alumni support, and in-kind contributions from international partners, the initiative reduces traditional barriers to participation and remains accessible to students of all backgrounds. Over the past five years, the program’s flexible and scalable design has driven steady growth, with participation increasing from four to 14 students. Early career readiness outcomes indicate increased instructional preparedness, stronger intercultural communication skills, and enhanced competitiveness in the job market, with many graduates pursuing international employment opportunities.
Indiana University Bloomington’s Refugee Task Force
Indiana University Bloomington (IU) established a Refugee Task Force in 2020 to bring together management-level representatives from key student service offices, including financial aid, housing, academic and career advising, student affairs, faculty, and community resettlement organizations.
Through partnerships and scholarship funding from federal, state, institutional, philanthropic, and community sources, IU has enrolled more than 40 displaced students, provided 42 full scholarships, and supported 16 graduates.
The task force’s collaborative approach allows members to respond quickly to complex challenges, from credential evaluation to housing and family support.
University of Michigan Ross School of Business’s Global Initiatives Short-term Global Program Model
Michigan Ross Global Initiatives has developed a study abroad model that combines customized short-term international programs with traditional exchange partnerships. Designed in collaboration with partner business schools, these programs provide Ross students with affordable, high-impact experiences focused on local business contexts, engagement with international faculty and companies, and peer collaboration abroad. In return, partner institutions send students to Michigan Ross for full-semester exchanges, creating an exchange model that benefits both sides. By reducing program costs to roughly one-third of previous models and supplementing participation with donor-funded scholarships, particularly for first-generation and high-need students, Michigan Ross has removed significant financial and scheduling barriers to global education.
In two years, student participation grew from 69 students to 249 students — a 261% increase — demonstrating strong demand for these global experiences. The approach also brings approximately 75 additional exchange students to Ann Arbor each year, enriching classroom discussions and campus culture with international perspectives.
Following a successful pilot, Michigan Ross doubled the number of programs offered and continues to refine the model to ensure quality and scalability. By leveraging existing partnerships rather than building new infrastructure, the initiative offers a practical, replicable framework for institutions seeking to expand global learning opportunities, manage rising study abroad costs, and create sustainable, mutually beneficial international collaborations.
Princeton University’s Princeton-Mpala Partnership
Since 1994, the Princeton–Mpala partnership has demonstrated a distinctive model of international collaboration that integrates research, education, conservation, and community engagement through a shared governance structure involving Princeton University, Kenyan national institutions, and the Smithsonian. Centered on a 48,000-acre research and conservation landscape in Kenya, Mpala serves as a “living laboratory” where students and scholars investigate global challenges.
Since Princeton became the managing partner in 2015, the initiative has expanded into a global platform involving 65 institutions, approximately 250 Kenya-based staff, and more than 50 Princeton students. Through field courses, semester programs, and hands-on research, students engage directly in inquiry-driven learning while collaborating with Kenyan researchers and communities.
The partnership’s emphasis on shared governance, interdisciplinary collaboration, and local capacity building offers a sustainable model for long-term international engagement that advances scientific discovery, education, conservation, and community partnership.
University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz’s International Scholars Collaborative Opportunity for Research Exchange (ISCORE)
ISCORE (International Scholar and Undergraduate Research Engagement) is an innovative mentorship program at the University of Colorado Denver and CU Anschutz Medical Campus that connects undergraduate students in pre-health programs with international scholars working in research laboratories.
Established in 2017 by the Office of International Affairs, the program addresses two critical needs simultaneously: increasing undergraduate access to hands-on research experiences and supporting international scholars as they navigate a new professional and cultural landscape. Through an eight-week, cohort-based model, students gain exposure to high-level biomedical research while scholars develop mentorship, leadership, and cross-cultural communication skills.
Since its launch, ISCORE has connected more than 170 undergraduates with research opportunities and engaged more than 100 international scholars from more than 20 countries. The program has produced measurable outcomes, with 83% of student participants reporting increased clarity about their academic and career goals and improved research confidence. International scholars also reported significant growth in their ability to communicate scientific concepts and mentor others.
