Sarah Lande, a lifelong proponent of citizen diplomacy and key figure in the history of Iowa's relationship with China, and Patrick and Susan Keefe, whose commitment to serving the health needs of under-resourced and marginalized communities has taken them to many parts of the U.S. and the world, are the recipients of the UI's 2020 International Impact Award. UI President Bruce Harreld and International Programs Associate Provost and Dean Russell Ganim presented the International Impact Awards during the November 16 WorldCanvass, the official kick-off for the UI celebration of International Education Week (November 16-20).  Recognition was also given to Mishma Nixon and Nicholas Stroup, recipients of the UI's Global Student Awards.
