Vision 2020 has called for Texas A&M University to provide a campus environment that welcomes and nurtures global diversity. Faculty members play a key role in these efforts by encouraging cultural sensitivity, making efforts to help international students, and facilitating integration of international students into campus life. The Presidential Award of Excellence for Faculty Service to International Students was established to recognize such efforts of faculty that assist international students beyond attaining their academic and research goals.
