1. “Who would have imagined 150 years ago:
That by our example, we would become the global prototype of a
genuinely American brand of higher education B one that is an
engine of the economy, a force for the democratization of public
learning, the model for engagement with the world beyond the
campus, and a catalyst for improving the quality of life in Michigan
and around the world.
Today I=m calling for a new land-grant revolution, the next bold
experimentB the land-grant university for the world. As a great
public research university, one of the top 100 in the world, endowed
with a difference B the land-grant spirit, the great land-grant heart B
Michigan State University accepts the mantle and the mace of
leadership for this revolution.”
President Lou Anna K. Simon
Twentieth President of MSU, 2005-present
“We believe that a university of international distinction and
21st-century influence is a local, national, and international
resource for knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination. Such
a university promotes problem-solving to address society's needs,
both locally and globally. All students, faculty, staff, and other
university clientele should have broad opportunities to become
globally aware, capable of collaborating with colleagues and clients
at home and abroad, and able to operate effectively
in a global environment.”

international activities at MSU, oversaw a restructuring of ISP, and worked to
establish endowments for all area study centers. He established the ISP tradition of
the annual International Awards Ceremony (IAC) and founded the Visiting
International Professional Program (VIPP).

3. Dr. Lim had a life-long concern for poverty alleviation and the critical need for
adequate housing on humanitarian grounds as well as on social, health,
educational, and economic development grounds. Toward these ends, Dr. Lim was
president and founder of the Consortium on Development Studies, chair of the
board of Citizens for Decent Housing, and co-president of the Korea Federation for
Environmental Movement. He advised the World Bank, Asian Development Bank,
U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Agency for International Development, the Urban

2005 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS
INTRODUCTION
The International Awards Ceremony is hosted each spring by the Dean of International
Studies and Programs (ISP). Its purpose is to bring together MSU faculty, staff, students, community
volunteers, and others from the wider Michigan community to recognize and celebrate outstanding
contributions toward international understanding.
The Ralph H. Smuckler Award for Advancing International Studies and Programs at MSU
recognizes and rewards one or two faculty members each year for their significant and lasting impact
on the advancement of international scholarship, teaching, and public service. This award is named
after Ralph H. Smuckler, a former long-time dean of International Studies and Programs.
The Joon S. Moon Distinguished International Alumni Award, named for an eminent Korean-
American businessman, recognizes one or more international alumni who have brought special credit
to MSU through their professional achievements.
The Gill-Chin Lim Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation in Global Studies
acknowledges one graduate student each year for her/his outstanding doctoral dissertation, completed
the preceding year, focusing on global studies. This award is named for the late Dr. Gill-Chin Lim, MSU
Professor of Geography and Urban Planning and former Dean of International Studies and Programs.
The Glen L. Taggart Award for Community Contribution to International Understanding was
named in honor of ISP's first dean. It is given to one or more citizens of the State of Michigan who
have made a distinct, sustained contribution to international understanding in their respective
communities or in the state at large.
The MSU Award for Outstanding Service to Study Abroad recognizes faculty and academic
staff who give their time, energy, and creativity to the development and implementation of study abroad
programs that support MSU=s commitment to providing students with high quality international
education opportunities.
The Homer Higbee International Education Award was named for a person who dedicated his
professional life to international educational exchange in the 25 years that he served in the Office of
International Studies and Programs at MSU. The Higbee awards are primarily for MSU students who
have made significant contributions to the enhancement of international communication, understanding,
and cooperation at MSU through service activities. One member of Community Volunteers for
International Programs (CVIP) is also given such an award each year.
In addition to these ISP awards, there are many other international achievements that are recognized
later in the program notes. We congratulate and thank all of the recipients and encourage others to
take the opportunity at this reception to do likewise.
CONGRATULATIONS!

JOON S. MOON DISTINGUISHED INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI AWARD
Delia Z. F. Koo
The career of Dr. Delia Koo has embodied the spirit and dedication of an
educator and a humanitarian as deeply as it has epitomized the mission of the MSU
International Studies Program. A long-time member of the faculty of Michigan State
University who devoted herself to the advancement of the field of international
studies at MSU, she was closely involved in and committed to initiatives that have
significantly enriched this University and, in particular, its international programs.
Through her tireless work in founding the Volunteer English Tutoring
Program (VETP), Dr. Koo has helped MSU students improve their skills in the
English language and better understand American culture as they and their family
members studied at MSU. As coordinator, Dr. Koo recruited, trained, and
orchestrated the volunteers in the VETP. She also was responsible for facilitating
student enrollment through the program. Her work and these continuing services
have been critical to the success of thousands of MSU international students.
In addition to her volunteer efforts on behalf of international students, Dr.
Koo has supported international students and programs at MSU in various practical
ways. Her major donation for the construction of the third-floor addition named the
Delia Koo International Academic Center to the International Center provided
classrooms and office space for new and existing academic programs.
Dr. Koo has been recognized in Who=s Who of American Women, as well as
in Who=s Who Among Asian Americans, Who=s Who in the Midwest, and in many
editions of American Men and Women of Science. She served as chair of the
Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America in 1979-80 and
governor of the Section in 1981 and 1983. She received the Meritorious Service
Award of the Mathematical Association of America in 1992. Dr. Koo earned a
baccalaureate degree in China, as well as both master=s and doctoral degrees in
English from Radcliffe College. She earned a second master=s degree at Michigan
State University in mathematics.
MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon has said of Dr. Koo, AWhile Dr. Koo=s
contributions enhance international studies and assist international students, they
also enhance the entire academic landscape of MSU by helping to include
international teaching, research, and outreach in many of our academic programs
and assisting students who want an international educational experience.”

JOON S. MOON DISTINGUISHED INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI AWARD
Hyun-Oh Yoo
Dr. Yoo=s career was shaped by unexpected events. Yet with ingenuity and
poise he turned adversity into opportunity, distinguishing himself as an innovative
business leader at the cutting edge of the information society. Dr. Yoo joined the
Mass Media Ph.D. program in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences in
1995. One of our strongest doctoral students, he faced a promising future in
academia. This prospect was, however, abruptly ended by the repercussions of the
Southeast Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, necessitating pursuit of a business
career instead. And what a career it turned out to be!
After he graduated from Michigan State University, Dr. Yoo resumed work for
his former employer, SK Telecom, the leading Korean mobile communications
company. He quickly advanced to senior management positions, including vice
president in charge of SK Telecom’s mobile Internet service, which under his
leadership became one of the fastest growing advanced information services in the
world. He often credits his educational experience at Michigan State University as
critical for shaping his outlook and success.
In 2004, Dr. Yoo became President and CEO of SK Communications and
was put in charge of its Internet portal, Nate.com, often called the Yahoo of Korea.
Nate.com is a truly innovative, next-generation Internet multimedia service. Under
Dr. Yoo’s leadership, the service rapidly signed up more than 11 million customers
and turned into a highly profitable operation. Dr. Yoo presently spearheads efforts
to expand internationally, tailoring service offerings to the cultural fabric and tastes
of each new market.
Through his business activities and his continuing involvement with
graduates from Michigan State University, Dr. Yoo continues to contribute to
international understanding and the global vision of our university. He is richly
deserving of the Joon S. Moon Distinguished International Alumni Award.

GILL-CHIN LIM AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING DOCTORAL
DISSERTATION IN GLOBAL STUDIES
Maria Nnyepi
Dr. Maria Nnyepi of Botswana received her Ph.D. degree in Human Nutrition
from MSU in August, 2004 under the mentorship of Dr. Jenny Taylor Bond. Her
dissertation, Linking Child Survival Programs with Malnutrition Alleviation Strategies,
is based on a cross-sectional investigation of the existence and utilization of
linkages between child survival programs (CSP) and undernutriton alleviation
strategies for children (0-5 years) in government health clinics in Botswana. She
used two theoretical models, an interview schedule for caregivers, a questionnaire
for practitioners, children’s anthropometric measurements, clinic records, and focus
groups.
The significance of Dr. Nnyepi’s research, supported by The Compton Africa
Peace Fellowships for Dissertation Research by African Students, relates to defining
malnutrition as a form of “structural violence” (Galtung, 1970). It prevents individuals
from reaching their physical and cognitive potential and results from inequitable
distribution of food and health care. Her research focused on institutional and policy
issues that perpetuate this inequitable distribution and, therefore, erode peace and
well being.
The Botswana CSP are modeled after the World Health Organization and
United Nations Children’s Fund primary health care model. Dr. Nnyepi’s results,
which demonstrate a disconnect between the programs that are part of the CSPs,
have implications for similar programs in the developing world. Her
recommendations for the development and use of a simple nutrition and dietary
screening tool and for attention to communication between caregivers and health
providers are being shared with the President of Botswana, a requirement for
obtaining permission to complete this research. She has the opportunity to
implement changes within all CSP in the country as clinics are centrally regulated.
As a faculty member at the University of Botswana, she has the opportunity for
follow-up research.
As a result of her experiences as a Thoman, Compton Peace, and Margaret
McNamara Memorial Fund (World Bank) Fellow, graduate assistant in Women and
International Development, and participant in the African Leadership Programme,
Dr. Nnyepi has the potential to be a leader in global nutrition and dietetics. She is a
most worthy recipient of the Gill-Chin Lim Award for Outstanding Doctoral
Dissertation in Global Studies.

GLEN L. TAGGART AWARD FOR COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION
TO INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING
Larry Arbanas
The story of Larry Arbanas shows how international experiences can change
a person and that person, in turn, can influence so many others. Through his work,
Larry has helped create and sustain traditions that have allowed hundreds to
experience another culture. He is a wonderful role model for the transformative
powers of international exchange.
Larry has taught middle school science in the DeWitt public schools for 35
years. In 1986, he was among the first teachers chosen to participate in the
MichiganBShiga Teacher Exchange Program sponsored by the Michigan
Department of Education. His year of teaching in Japan had a transformational
effect on him and since his return he has worked tirelessly to bring Michigan and
Japan closer together. Among his many contributions, Larry is responsible for
developing and helping to sustain both the sister city relationship and the two-way
middle school exchange programs between the towns of DeWitt, Michigan, and
Konan-cho in Shiga Prefecture.
After the first few years of the state=s high school exchange program, the
Michigan Department of Education announced that it no longer had the personnel to
run it. Rather than see it disappear, Larry persuaded his local district
superintendent in DeWitt to run it. A year later, the program was again at risk for the
same reasons and Larry reached out to Clinton County Regional Educational
Service Agency (formerly known as the Intermediate School District) to form yet
another partnership. These were two moments in the program=s history when it
would have ended had it not been for Larry=s intervention and powers of persuasion.
The quantity and quality of his contributions are too numerous to list. He
loves doing what good teachers do best, and that is learning new things and sharing
them with others. He brings leadership, unbounded enthusiasm, and deep
commitment to every task he undertakes. He is a wonderful role model for what an
exchange opportunity can do to impact others and is a worthy recipient of the Glen
Taggart Award.

14. 14
GLEN L. TAGGART AWARD FOR COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION TO
INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING
Marilyn Kesler
Marilyn Kesler has devoted her career as a music educator to introducing
her students to the international language of music. For 35 years, Marilyn has been
instrumental in organizing unique music education and performance opportunities
for Michigan high school students. In the 1970s Ms. Kesler began her first
international music tour for students at Okemos High School. Since then, she has
perfected the concept of an international student orchestra exchange program by
organizing bilateral international high school orchestra tours for US and overseas
students, their teachers, and families. More than 3,000 students have experienced
the world of classical music in an international setting because of Marilyn Kesler.
She has led programs to United Kingdom, Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, Czech
Republic, Japan, and, Italy, Austria, and Germany. The trips have given participants
the opportunity of a lifetime to hear and play classical music in the composer=s own
country—Haydn in a hall designed by Hadyn himself, and cathedrals or palaces that
once hosted Rossini, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Mozart.
Say the word ASuzuki@ to a music educator anywhere in the world, and the
Suzuki method of violin and cello instruction immediately comes to mind. In 1976,
Marilyn Kesler traveled to Japan for her first meeting with Dr. Suzuki to discuss the
adaptation and implementation of his methods for the cello. The success of her
efforts has forever transformed cello instruction throughout the world. Marilyn was
first recognized for her efforts as State Teacher of the Year in 1976 by the American
Strings Teachers Association. Since then she has received numerous state and
national awards, such as Teacher of the Year (Michigan State Band and Orchestra
Association), National String Music Educator of the Year (American String Educator
Association), Distinguished Service Award (Suzuki Association of the Americas),
and the 2001 Okemos Education Foundation Commitment to Excellence Award. In
addition to her work as director of orchestras at Okemos Public Schools, she is
leader of both the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp International Orchestra group and the
Suzuki Program. Marilyn was invited to be guest conductor for the 50th
anniversary
celebration of the US National Convention on Music Education and Midwest
International Orchestra conference.
Michigan State University is proud to present the Glen L. Taggart Award for
Community Contribution to International Understanding to Marilyn Kesler for her
lifelong exemplary achievements, contributions to promoting international fellowship
and understanding through music, and her legacy of Suzuki music education.

MSU AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO STUDY ABROAD
H. Paul Roberts
Over the past two decades, Dr. H.Paul Roberts has made major
contributions to the advancement of international studies at MSU, first in his capacity
as program coordinator for the Institute for International Agriculture and, for the past
13 years, as the Director of Study Abroad Programs for the College of Agriculture
and Natural Resources (CANR).
Dr. Roberts has fostered the development of more than 50 different CANR
study abroad programs and has served as instructor in 24 different programs
encompassing 32 offerings in 25 different countries. He has also provided
mentoring and training for faculty on program development, travel safety and
security, course innovations, and student recruitment. He has promoted the
development of short-term and semester-long programs, including exchange
programs with universities in Europe, Africa, South America, and Australia.
Colleagues from other MSU colleges and from universities around the U.S. and the
world have sought his advice on the development and implementation of study
abroad programs.
He has been a key contributor not only to CANR=s study abroad programs,
but also to the overall growth of study abroad programs at MSU. His highly
successful undergraduate course, AInternational Issues in Agriculture and Natural
Resources,@ has inspired students from across the campus to pursue international
opportunities. He has also served on the Office of Study Abroad (OSA) Safety
Committee and contributed to the creation of the OSA Faculty Handbook.
The foundation for his long and tireless commitment to the expansion of
international opportunities in CANR is Dr. Roberts=s ardent belief in the power of
overseas study experiences to profoundly affect the way in which young people
understand and view themselves and their world. Due to his vision and leadership,
hundreds of students and a large number of faculty have experienced first-hand the
transformative power of international education. He is indeed a most worthy
recipient of the MSU Award for Outstanding Service to Study Abroad.

16. 16
MSU AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO STUDY ABROAD
Gerald Urquhart
Dr. Gerald Urquhart has initiated two study abroad programs, built
interdisciplinary faculty collaborations to enhance their academic content, and
integrated the programs with the curriculum of the Lyman Briggs School (LBS). Dr.
Urquhart also serves as a resource to LBS faculty who are formulating new
proposals for study abroad programs. Dr. Urquhart first offered the annual three-
week course, ATropical Biodiversity and Conservation in Panama,@ in 2002. Team-
taught with another LBS ecologist and an LBS historian of biology, this course
introduces students to the exceptional biodiversity and serious conservation issues
in tropical ecosystems. Dr. Urquhart collaborated in 2004 with an LBS specialist to
offer a one-week program, ARainforests and Reality in Nicaragua.” This biennial
course serves as a >starter= program, encouraging students to pursue further study
abroad opportunities. At present, he is collaborating with a professor of
Environmental Journalism from MSU’s College of Communication Arts and Science
to propose a co-sponsored semester study abroad progam at the University of
Tasmania.
The impact of these programs on LBS has been overwhelmingly positive.
Students praise the close interactions with faculty from MSU and Panama, speak
warmly of experiencing diverse ecosystems, and reflect on the frustrations and
rewards of their own field research projects. Students also write about their new
appreciation for the complexities of other cultures and the problems developing
countries face—and also about their altered perspectives on what they have
previously taken for granted because of living in the US. Faculty note specific
positive effects on their teaching and scholarship, citing new research collaborations
and the design of new courses. Dr. Urquhart=s recognition of the multiple benefits of
studying abroad prompted his involvement in OSA’s Curriculum Integration Project.
Major by major, Dr. Urquhart is asking LBS administrators, faculty, and advisers to
consider how their departments could facilitate more opportunities for study abroad
by evaluating courses and syllabi from co-sponsored institutions abroad, creating
new faculty-led programs, promoting existing programs that fit a major=s curriculum,
and encouraging new (and existing) faculty to become involved in study abroad
activities.
Dr. Urquhart has demonstrated sustained commitment to study abroad by
developing, implementing, teaching, and sustaining two popular, well-run programs.
His promotion of study abroad within LBS has positively impacted students and
faculty. His multidimensional efforts are most worthy of this award.

HOMER HIGBEE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION AWARD
Margaret Gunn
On behalf of Community Volunteers for International Programs (CVIP)
Margaret Gunn has been chosen for the 2005 Homer Higbee Award given annually
to a CVIP member displaying exemplary volunteer service.
For over 25 years, Margaret Gunn has served the international student
community as a volunteer with CVIP. She is the type of stalwart, committed
volunteer upon whom our organization depends. Margaret is always outgoing and
gracious. To people new to CVIP, she is unfailingly encouraging and supportive.
During her many years in CVIP, Margaret has worked on and chaired many
committees. She co-chaired the Hostess Committee, Coffee Partners and the CVIP
Public Relations Committee, keeping the image of CVIP before the public through
her submissions to local newspapers. For more than 15 years she worked in the
CVIP Office and helped to organize the semi-annual CVIP Newsletter. Her long-term
presence as a greeter at the Global Festival should not be overlooked. She and her
husband, Bill, were active participants in the Friendship Family Program, and, in
addition, Margaret was CVIP historian for many years, faithfully preserving all the
press notices and pictures that featured CVIP or its board members.
Margaret has recently written and published her own book, Musings of a
Wife and Mother. In its pages one can discern why Margaret and Bill were such a
great friendship family. Friendship and caring were hallmarks of their marriage. In
spite of the fact that Bill is no longer with us, Margaret has continued to volunteer.
Our community and the international students at MSU have benefited greatly from
Margaret=s many years as a dedicated volunteer for CVIP. As such, we feel
Margaret Gunn is the perfect choice for the CVIP Homer Higbee Award.
