UF International Center Releases Names of 2019 Global Awardees in anticipation of International Education Week

As UF continues to rise in the ranks of the nation’s top public universities, the UF International Center (UFIC) is keenly aware of the importance of its many global engagements in this effort. With that in mind, and in preparation for International Education Week 2019 (Nov. 18-22), the UFIC recently recognized faculty, staff and students who make the University of Florida “global and greater.”
