Each year the Center acknowledges the hard work that people around campus do to support International Studies students and opportunities. For the 2023-2024, Dr. Thillainatarajan “Thilla” Sivakumaran was awarded Administrator of the Year and Mr. Oliver Del Cid as Faculty Member of the Year.
Dr. Sivakumaran is the Vice President of Texas State Global and his work establishing new hubs and exchange programs worldwide is instrumental to providing increased study abroad opportunities. His support and collaboration also led to the creation of new
programs through TXST Global.
Mr. Oliver Del Cid, Director General of National Security for Belize and guest professor, taught the inaugural Diplomacy Seminar course offered in Spring 2024. His support and collaboration was integral to the development of the Diplomacy minor and the Center looks forward to his expertise teaching future sections of the Diplomacy Seminar course, IS 4388.
