Awards
Martin C. Jischke Outstanding International Student of the Year Award The Martin C. Jischke Outstanding International Student of the Year Award will be presented annually at the spring University Honors Convocation. This award is made possible by President Emeritus Martin C. Jischke, who was the 2007 recipient of the International Citizen of the Year Award given by the International Center of Indianapolis, in recognition of his “tremendous leadership in making global connections for Indiana.” Dr. Jischke established this award to honor a Purdue student who has helped the University welcome and connect people of all cultures.
Candidates for this prestigious award may be nominated by faculty and staff based on the following criteria: - Graduating senior who has attained a minimum of a 3.0 graduation index (“Graduating” can be interpreted as anyone who graduates in December 2007, May 2008, or August 2008)
- Scholarship (minimum 3.0 GPA and academic achievement/recognition in other areas such as research, publications, presentations, etc.)
- Service (campus and community)
The most important aspect of the application is the Service area. The recipient of this award will receive a certificate, a cash award in an amount determined by the interest distribution of the endowment, and have his or her name inscribed on an award marker located in Schleman Hall.
A committee composed of students and the Director of the Office of International Students and Scholars will select the recipient based on nominations submitted by faculty and staff.
