Couldn’t be more proud that Lou works with the Pitt international community through OIS!

Congratulations to Louis Deemer of the University of Pittsburgh for receiving the 2024 NAFSA International Education Award: Rising Star Young Leader! This national award is given annually in recognition of a professional who has impacted the field of international education during the first five years of the recipient's area of work. NAFSA was proud to recognize Louis during our annual conference in New Orleans.
