Interim Chair and Associate Professor of German recognized at Carnegie Hall

Dr. David Smith, Interim Chair and Associate Professor of German in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, was recognized at Carnegie Hall on April 18 with the “Mid-Career Professional Award for Accomplishments in International Education between the USA and Germany.” The award was presented by the Alumni Association of the German Academic Exchange Service, or Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), which supports fellowships and programs for students and scholars. “I am humbled and honored to have received this award, though I consider it a group recognition for how successful we have been in our department in mentoring students to apply for and receive funding to study or conduct internships abroad,” said Smith. “I look forward to working with my colleagues to continue that work.”
