This award commemorates the activities of the participants in the 1996 Olympic Envoy Program. It is given annually to a junior or senior International Affairs, International Affairs/Modern Language or an Economics/International Affairs major to reward excellence in scholarship, leadership, and community service.

Criteria include proficiency in a foreign language and a demonstrated commitment to furthering international cooperation and cross-cultural understanding. The award consists of a check for $1,000. The recipient's name will be added to a plaque displayed in the School of International Affairs.

Selection will be made by a committee consisting of faculty members of the Nunn School of International Affairs and representatives of the program supporters. Students may be nominated by faculty or staff and self-nominations are welcome.

The awards will be presented at this year's Georgia Tech's Annual Honors Day Luncheon.
