Campus Two professors share award for International Education
The award recognizes faculty members who have helped to strengthen the University's international studies programs.
For the third time in the last four years, two University of Kansas professors will share the Provost's Award for Leadership in International Education.
Timm said that international exposure was important to the University, but more could be done to further study abroad programs.
"We ought to make it easier for students and faculty to work abroad," Timm said.
sert. Garth Myers, associate professor of geography and African and African-American studies, won the other award.
Myers has been instrumental in securing graduate certificates in African studies soon to be available to KU students.

KU First campaign nearing its proposed total of $500 million
KU First has raised $469 million for the University of Kansas.
KU First is the fund-raising campaign for the University. Its chairman, Forrest Hoglund, announced Saturday that the campaign had collected the amount.
The program began on July 1, 1998, and will end in December 2004. The program is expected to raise $500 million for the University.
Money collected by KU First comes from private donors.
Todd Cohen, spokesman for University Relations, said the amount raised was impressive.
"It demonstrates how vital private donations are to the University," Cohen said. "The state is providing less and less money each year; that makes private money even more important."
The money is used to allow the University to compete with similar universities in the quality of education it provides. The funds provide for projects that the state doesn't fund.
Eaton Hall, the Dole Institute of Politics and the new Kansas Public Radio building are a few of the projects that the campaign has funded.
KU First raised $77 million for scholarships for environmental engineering students, study abroad programs, first generation college students and Native-American scholars, as well as others.
Money has also been used to get new professors to the University and to provide funding for equipment, research and graduate assistants.
