Rose Chepyator-Thomson, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology, was one of two University of Georgia faculty members to receive the Richard F. Reiff Internationalization Award from the Office of International Education this year.
The Reiff Award honors a tenured or tenure-track faculty member who has made major contributions to the overall internationalization of the university.
Chepyator-Thomson’s teaching, research, and service activities illustrate her passion for internationalizing the university. She founded and directs the annual Global Education Forum, hosted by UGA and now in its 10th year, whose mission is to promote cross-cultural understanding in a global context.
