Strategic Trade & Management Academy (S&STMA)
The SSTM Academy provides a comprehensive overview of export control concepts, issues, and standards from an international perspective. Unlike other fora on export control which focus exclusively on the United States or one particular country's export control regulations, CITS Academy offers a comparative perspective that allows participants to understand the range of "how to" options or tools available to them for implementing export controls. Participants leave with a truly global and hands-on understanding of export controls. The Center for International Trade and Security is a university-based alliance of analysts, experts, faculty, and students dedicated to the pursuit of research and outreach that address the dangers implicit in strategic trade and the risks to security and economy posed by inappropriate trade control systems. CITS has over twenty years of experience conducting research and training on export controls internationally and is today widely recognized as the source of global expertise in its field.
Delta Prize for Global Understanding
In 1997 Delta Air Lines and the University of Georgia created a new international prize that recognizes efforts to advance understanding and cooperation among cultures and nations. The Delta Air Lines Foundation gave the University of Georgia an $890,000 grant to establish the Delta Prize program. UGA administers the program, which provides a $10,000 cash prize and an original work of art to the award winner. Delta Air Lines also provides a $50,000 travel allowance to the non-profit organization of the recipients choice.
The Delta Prize for Global Understanding is presented annually to individuals whose initiatives have helped promote world peace. The inaugural award was presented to former President Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn Carter and the Atlanta-based Carter Center in 1999.
