Faculty/Staff Detail
Patricia Martinez de la Vega Mansilla, Modern Languages Department, was awarded the Clark Center Internationalization Award on April 27. Since 2010, the Clark Center Internationalization Award is given each year at SUNY Cortland to recognize individuals from the faculty or staff who have significantly contributed to or shown leadership in internationalizing the campus.
In selecting an honoree, the Clark Center Steering Committee recognizes the variety of ways an individual can enrich SUNY Cortland and the wider community. Recognized activities include, for example, expanding study abroad opportunities or mentoring international students on campus. Awardees have also repeatedly exposed SUNY Cortland students to a diversity of international perspectives, whether by presenting their scholarship, bringing guest scholars to campus, promoting the study of foreign languages, or diversifying our curriculum.
