CEA Global Education is committed to providing study abroad opportunities to help students connect international education and experience with life after college.

Past recipients have ranged from a single person instrumental in establishing an effective partnership with the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and UW system, to University departments and international professors in the field of language acquisition, to established committees charged with bringing global concerns to the campus and community forefront, to, domestic and international providers that provide study abroad programming options as well as making UW-L a campus of choice.
