7Q10/H&C Leader Receives Global Citizen Award
Dear Lori,
It is with great pleasure that I write to you on behalf of Northern Nevada’s international community and the International Center. You have been selected by your community to receive the Global Citizen Award for your contributions over many years in making Nevada a more global community!
The Global Citizen Award is presented each year to an individual who has worked diligently and without much recognition to bring a vision of a more global society to Northern Nevada and helped to increase awareness of international issues to our community. This award will be presented at the 11th Annual Global Gala on April 2, 2009 at the Peppermill Casino/Tuscany Ballroom along with two other international awards. The other two recipients this year are Dr. Robert Maxson of Sierra Nevada College and Mrs. Dee Gamal-Eldin.
An International Center staff member will contact you next week to go over biographical information we will need for the program booklet. You will receive two complimentary tickets in the mail as well as information about the event. I hope you will be able to receive the award in person!
Lori, congratulations once again on receiving the Global Citizen Award. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.
Carina A. Black, Ph.D.
Executive Director
Northern Nevada International Center
The Northern Nevada International Center (NNIC) is located south of the main entrance to the beautiful campus of the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and is a non-profit organization serving Nevada’s communities.
We are a sponsored project of the University of Nevada, Reno and our main objective is to foster better understanding between people through our public diplomacy programs, our language and culture projects and our foreign policy forums. The Northern Nevada International Center provides a resource for local residents as well as visitors interested in international activities and events.
To get an idea of our most current activities, we have a combined listing of all our news, events, activities, and incoming delegation announcements. For our first-time visitors, we have a brief introductory page where you can learn more about the NNIC and its three main activity areas.
To recap, and among other things: we provide interpretation and translation services; organize programs for international visitors, through the U.S. Department of State and the Open World Program; teach language and culture classes for children and adults; provide cultural competency training; and organize many other enticing public / community events and activities.
