NAFSA's Simon Award winners typically have the support and participation of their campus leadership, faculty, visiting scholars, staff, students and communities in creating a global approach to the curriculum, campus programs and outreach on their campuses.
Named for the late Senator Paul Simon (D-IL), the awards seek to recognize institutions where international education is infused into the learning environment. Senator Simon was a strong advocate for international education throughout his career in public service.
La Roche College's mission statement says the college "fosters global citizenship and creates a community of scholars from the region, the nation, and around the world" and seeks to "promote justice and peace in a constantly changing global society."
