International Student House of Washington, DC (ISH-DC) is an exciting environment where the world comes together, and those who supported our annual Global Leadership Awards Dinner this September have a unique understanding of how special this international community is to the future world leaders who call this place home while here in Washington.

Ambassadors and diplomats from over 30 countries, Members of Congress, special guests, and ISH-DC’s own resident scholars from 36 countries gathered to honor those who have made great contributions to intercultural and international understanding.

This year, we honored three distinguished Members of Congress. Senator Ed Markey received our Global Champion Award for his four decades of Congressional leadership in protecting the environment and advancing telecommunications in the US and worldwide.  We presented our Global Leadership Award to co-recipients Congressman Ed Royce and Congressman Eliot Engel in recognition of their leadership of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.  Additionally, we conferred our Global Media award to Al-Monitor, a prominent electronic media site which features unique and balanced insight and analysis by prominent journalists and experts.
