Dr. Kirsten Kumpf Baele secured this tremendous honor for the University of Iowa through her work with the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

Organized by UI International Programs, this forum is made possible through the generous support of the Stanley-UI Foundation Support Organization, with additional sponsorship from Pentacrest Museums, Division of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Office of Community Engagement, and College of Education.
