This year’s White Award for Internationalization went to a particularly polyglot professor. Prof. Jo Ann Fuess chairs Nebraska Wesleyan University's Department of Modern Languages and teaches German courses at all levels, including German literature, culture, media and film.
She also teaches intermediate Spanish and coordinates Nebraska Wesleyan’s International Film Series.
Fuess helps Nebraska Wesleyan students reap lasting gains from their trips abroad through her one credit hour course, “MLANG 3030: Processing the International Experience.”
The White Award for Internationalization is named after the late President John White and his wife, Marty White, for their commitment to global study and service to Nebraska Wesleyan University. John White was SM̳’s 14th president, serving from 1977 to 1997—a period of impressive growth in both student enrollment and international study.
