International Student House Global Leadership Awards

The International Student House of Washington, D.C., celebrated 80 years of providing an exceptional residential experience to a diverse international community of graduate students, interns and visiting scholars in three buildings near Dupont Circle. On Sept. 8, the nonprofit organization presented the 2016 Global Leadership Awards to Senator Edward J. Markey and Congressmen Edward R. Royce and Eliot L. Engel. The Global Media Award went to Al-Monitor, the online news outlet reporting on the Middle East. Guests were bagpiped into the reception and, following the awards presentation, enjoyed dinner in the historic main building.
