Way to GO, Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, Pa. The school won the 2013 Andrew Heiskell Award for Internationalizing the Campus, pre- sented by the Institute of International Education. The award recognizes Susquehanna’s GO (Global Opportu- nities) program. Begun in 2009, GO requires all students to spend at least two weeks off campus immersed in a culture different from their own. When they return, they complete a credit-bearing critical reflection course on their experience—an all- student requirement that may be unique among U.S. universities.

Before GO, 30 percent of the students had off-campus study experiences.
Only 40 percent of young men who are ethnic minorities graduate from high school in Chicago, and only 3 percent go to college, said Rus- sell Harris, admissions counselor at Wartburg College, Waverly, Iowa. On Feb. 1, Wartburg leaders hosted a “Men’s Visit Day” to put college on the radar for 40 eighth- through 12th- graders at five underperforming Chi- cago schools. All were ethnic minori- ties from low-income households. The youth enjoyed campus tours and conversations to “help them learn about the tools needed to achieve their goals,” Harris said.
Capital University, Columbus, Ohio, received a bequest valued at more than $4 million—the largest in its 182-year history. The donors asked
that their names and the exact amount of the gift are not made public. The gift, said Denvy A. Bowman, school president, is a “powerful testament to Capital’s impact on people’s lives” and a “historic investment [that] will have a profound and lasting effect on our students.” Capital is in the midst of a fundraising campaign that has raised more than $7 million in gifts and pledges so far.
