The Saeeda Peermahomed Award

Saeeda Peermahomed Recipient List

The Saeeda Peermahomed Award is given annually to an international student in recognition of outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service in the field of international education. This award is made possible by the Peermahomed Family and is given in memory of their daughter, Saeeda Peermahomed, a University of Georgia student from India who was killed in a tragic automobile accident in North Georgia in 1979.

Saeeda was an exceptional international student who was active in international student organizations and promoting cross cultural exchange. This award is given in Saeeda's memory to help perpetuate the goals of intercultural exchange for which she stood. International Student Life is pleased to join the Peermahomed Family in presenting this award that recognizes the contributions of an exceptional international student at The University of Georgia.

ISL Listserv

International Student Life offers a weekly listserv that provides information about upcoming office events, programs and services.  It is our primary form of communication between the office and the many international students on campus as well as UGA and community members who want to know about international events throughout the year.  Additionally, the listserv also incorporates key departmental and University announcements as well as highlights international events on campus and in the surrounding area.  If you are interested in registering for the ISL listserv, please contact the office by emailing ugaisl@uga.edu to make your request.
