Kaitlin Oyler has been awarded the “Advancement of Global Dimensions Research Award” to support her thesis research. The award is given by the Commission for Global Dimension of Student Development of the American College Personnel Association (ACPA). The award is given for an outstanding research project of educational and intrinsic value to the international field. It is designed to recognize significant contributions to the body of knowledge about international education and international student service issues using research tools.

Kaitlin’s thesis compares the internationalization process at two similar universities, one American and one Australian. She completed a two-month internship at the University of New South Wales this summer. In his letter of support, Dr. Christian Anderson, Kaitlin’s thesis advisor, wrote: “We need more research that helps us understand how universities internationalize their campuses, including their student body. We need more research that helps us understand more about how student affairs functions in other countries. And we need more comparative studies of student affairs. Kaitlin’s study helps fill the void for each of these areas.”
