WELLESLEY COLLEGE DR. JEAN MAYER GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP AWARD

EPIIC established the Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award in 1993 to honor the work and life of Dr. Jean Mayer, President and Chancellor of Tufts University, 1976-93.

Dr. Jean Mayer

“Dr. Mayer’s life and productive career have been dedicated to the service of mankind.” – President Jimmy Carter

A world-renowned nutritionist, publishing more than 750 scientific papers and 10 books, Jean Mayer advised three U.S. Presidents (Nixon, Ford, Carter), the US Congress, the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Or- ganization, the World Health Organization, the United Nations’ Children’s Fund, and the U.S. Secretary of State. He helped establish and expand the food stamp, school lunch and other national and international nutrition programs and organized the 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health.

In 1966, Dr. Mayer was the first scientist to speak out against the use of herbicides in the Vietnam War. In 1969, he led a mission to war-torn Biafra to assess health and nutrition conditions. In 1970, he organized an international symposium on famine, which produced the first comprehensive document on how nutrition and relief operations should be handled in time of disaster and was the first to suggest that using starvation as a political tool was a violation of human rights and should be outlawed.

For his service in World War II, he was awarded 14 decorations, including three Croix de Guerre, the Resistance Medal and the Cross of the Knight of the Legion of Honor. Among his 23 honorary degrees and numerous awards, he was the recipient of the Presidential End Hunger Award and the President’s Environment and Conservation Challenge Award.

As the 10th president of Tufts University, Dr. Mayer created the nation’s first graduate school of nutrition, established New England’s only veterinary school and the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts, and co-founded the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences and the Center for Environmental Management. As chair of the New England Board of Higher Education, he created scholarships that enabled non-white South Africans to go to mixed-race universities in their own country.

“...Mayer moved universities as social institutions in new directions and toward the assumption of larger responsibilities. He saw them as instruments for improving society and the world environment... Those who knew him will miss his quick grasp of complicated and often-conflicting material, the clarity of his insight, his courage in tackling formidable tasks and his unfailing charm.” – The Boston Globe

“EPIIC is a milestone in bringing to the attention of the world urgent problems which have been all too often ignored. The program has a remarkable talent of involving the enthusiasm and the hard work of our college students, giving them a true sense of what is important and bringing their efforts to very specific fruition.” – Dr. Jean Mayer

ROBERT AND JOANN BENDETSON PUBLIC DIPLOMACY AWARD

The Bendetson Public Diplomacy Initiative is an effort to bring key global policymakers and officials to Tufts to share their experiences and perspectives with students and to create conducive environments in the search for common ground.

The program brings policymakers and officials together to discuss their shared experiences, such as in its program on ”Iraq: Moving Forward” in 2007 that explored next steps in Iraq with high level participants from Iraq, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and Guatemala. Working with the political and military leaders of the ANC, former Apartheid government figures, and with leaders of the IRA and Provo military and political groups, the Public Diplomacy Initiative convened meetings over several years with all elements of the Iraqi political spectrum, excluding Al-Qaeda. It worked for three years to encourage and create the “Helsinki Princi- ples,” which formed the foundation for non-sectarian elec- tions in Iraq.

The meetings were hosted by the Conflict Management Ini- tiative, an NGO founded by Nobel Laureate, Mayer Award recipient, and former President of Finland the Honorable Martti Ahtisaari, and convened by Padraig O’Malley, the John Joseph Moakley Distinguished Professor of Peace and Recon- ciliation at UMass Boston’s the John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies, and the IGL. Its conclud- ing gathering, at which the Principles were announced, was held in Baghdad.

The Institute for Global Leadership established the Robert and JoAnn Bendetson Public Diplomacy Award as part of the Bendetson Public Diplomacy Initiative and in the aftermath of the Institute’s “Iraq: Moving Forward”. The award was created to recognize public officials, intellectuals and individuals who have distinguished themselves in their efforts to bring about reconciliation and to redress inequities and iniquities in the world.
