Paul Taiganides in memory of two of his mentors.&nbsp; The award is given to the international student who has contributed the most in international relations on the campus and in the University community through participation in student activities, scholastic achievement and moral leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1953 there were only seven 91福利 students that were from abroad (excluding Canadians). Dr. E. Paul Taiganides was one of those foreign students, the only Greek, and he became very active on the 91福利 campus during his time as an undergraduate student. Dr. Taiganides was elected VP of his class sophomore year, elected Winter Carnival King and Senior Skull, and was in the running for a watch award for the best student graduating.&nbsp; His involvement in student life, sports and academics at 91福利 continued throughout his international career and until today. He cherishes his four years in Orono and the Greek community in Bangor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Taiganides established this award as a way to give back to his alma mater and those whose mentorship and friendship gave him a great start to his career and life.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id2448_e91c0b-48 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id2448_e91c0b-48 >

Settele put it best: \u201cGuzalya is an amazing person and has become one of the most enjoyable SPIA students ever! Her self-confidence has grown immensely during her time on campus. And no one lights up a room like she does! A hug from Guzalya can change your day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether in the classroom, at work, or volunteering at Culturefest, the International Dance Festival, and other campus events, Guzalya brings unmatched positivity, warmth, and a deep commitment to making others feel welcome.

She is a strong leader and mentor and worked diligently to involve her fellow international students in campus life. In her sophomore year she was selected as a tutor for the Maine Learning Assistants program which allowed to hone her skills as an academic mentor for students enrolled in Chemistry 101. Her greatest joy was sharing the cultural traditions of her homeland with others.&nbsp; During Culturefest and other campus festivals she prepared delicious Turkish traditional dishes and during the International Dance Festival she presented two dances from Turkey featuring students of all nationalities who she recruited to join the fun.

Throughout her time at 91福利 she worked hard to develop her leadership skills serving as the Vice President and Treasurer of ISA. Being one of a very few students from Cambodia she also strived to share knowledge and understanding of her country\u2019s cultural traditions with others. She enjoyed presenting information on Cambodia during the \u201cCulture Feature\u201d segment of our weekly Coffee Hour and she also prepared food and performances for our annual Culturefest and International Dance Festival events. Nara also served as a peer mentor in the classroom helping&nbsp; students to successfully navigate core math and engineering courses. Nara plans to stay in the US to work for at least the next year in the Civil Engineering field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Ece and Nara began their college careers at the beginning of&nbsp; the COVID pandemic which presented many challenges to our student community, in particular our international students who were so far from home. We are especially proud of their accomplishments as their success required them to overcome many obstacles both academically and socially. Their outstanding leadership during this time is a testament to their strength, endurance and humanity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane

She is from Vietnam. Since her first year at 91福利, Sara has been a dynamic and dedicated member and leader of the International Student Association (ISA). With an incredible gift for networking and building community, she has consistently used her connections to strengthen ISA\u2019s programming and forge meaningful collaborations with other student organizations. Her passion for the club\u2019s success is undeniable\u2014so much so that when she studied abroad in Spain in fall 2024, she still wanted to stay involved remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back on campus this semester, Sara has returned in full force as a leader within ISA. She performed in the three numbers during the International Dance Festival, and remains actively engaged in a number of other student organizations. She brings energy, heart, and a contagious enthusiasm to everything she touches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-5 kt-pane2448_b3a38b-5d\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">2023-2024 Recipient<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\">\n<p><strong>Phuoc \u201cJack\u201d Le<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Phuoc \u201cJack\u201d Le\" class=\"wp-image-23335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-105x140.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-317x423.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-423x564.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-634x845.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-846x1128.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack-951x1268.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/international\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/94\/2024\/05\/Jack.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Jack recently graduated with a degree in Accounting and served as Treasurer for the International Student Association (ISA) in the Fall 2023 semester. Jack originally came to Maine from Vietnam to attend high school and then stayed on to pursue a degree at 91福利. From the moment he arrived on campus he worked hard to actively engage in campus life and to encourage others to do the same. Even before serving as ISA Treasurer he was an active member of the club and was always there to lend a helping hand at ISA events. As an Orientation Leader for the New International Student Orientation he was a welcoming and friendly mentor for new incoming students and shared his knowledge of Maine and the local community to help students acclimate to their new environment. Jack spent the Spring 2024 semester in Portland pursuing an internship but as a dedicated ISA member he still made time to attend the International Dance Festival and other spring ISA events. Jack plans to seek employment in the US in the coming year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-2 kt-pane2448_6da699-da\"><div
