Michigan State University professor Tom Lovik has won this year’s Georges J. Joyaux Post-Secondary Educator Award.

The award was presented by Michigan World Language Association on October 18 at its annual conference in Lansing.

“(Lovik) has demonstrated time and again the depth of his commitment to expanding students’ understanding of the world with a maximum of collegiality and mentorship and a generous sense of citizenship in the world of language education beyond the boundaries of the university,” the university said in a release.
