Congratulations to you Paul and Mohmood!

I just read the UM Brief and noted that  both of you have been named as recipients of the University's 2008 Award for Global Engagement. I am including below the description of the Award for Global Engagement and your contributions for receiving it.

Thank you both so much for all your service.

The University's 2008 Award for Global Engagement recipients are *Phillip Peterson* and *Paul Quie*, co-directors of the International Medical Education and Research (IMER) Program; *John Vreyens*, director of International Programs in Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences; and *Mahmood Zaidi*, professor emeritus of human resources and founding director emeritus of international programs, Carlson School of Management. The Global Engagement Award honors active or retired faculty and staff members for outstanding contributions to global education and international programs in their field or to the University. Peterson and Quie established a legacy of globalization in health care for the Medical School and founded its International Medical Education Program; as scientists, both have contributed greatly to health care worldwide. Vreyens has devoted much of his life to making the world a more equitable and better place, from his time in the Peace Corps to his work with international agricultural education and research. Zaidi founded the Carlson School's international programs and is a renowned scholar in the field of international human resource development. The recipients will receive their awards at a ceremony Nov. 19 during International Education Week.
