After his family was forced to flee a government crackdown in Turkey, Florida State University sociologist Azat Gündoğan found a "lifeline" at Cornell as an International Institute of Education’s Scholar Rescue Fund fellow.

For its work supporting international scholars whose work puts them at risk in their home countries, Cornell has been awarded the Institute of International Education’s Centennial Medal, which celebrates the achievements and leadership of individuals and institutions that have made important contributions to international education.

N.K. Jemisin, award-winning fantasy author and critic, spoke at the Bartels World Affairs Lecture about building worlds, which is a perfect kick off to Cornell's new Global Grand Challenge: The Future. 

Five Cornell PhD students have received Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad awards, with support from the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies.

“The Einaudi Center is thrilled to be working with a visionary set of program directors who nurture Cornell’s global engagement and enrich area studies through deep links to colleagues, students, citizens and organizations across the globe,” said Einaudi Center director Rachel Beatty Riedl.
