ISY Awards

Praise for Mick Amundson-Geisel

Communications Office

Our very own college counselor – Mick Amundson-Geisel has been recognized for his fantastic efforts in our region to bring college admissions staff closer to our students.  He has been awarded the Fall 2022 GEM (Going the Extra Mile) award. This is what they had to say about him:

The Going the Extra Mile (GEM) Award recognizes the exemplary work of International ACAC members by highlighting their dedication to our profession, our colleagues, and our students by demonstrating best practices, acts of good will, creativity, and ethics. Nominations for the award are submitted by members to recognize the work of their professional peers; it is quite an honor!

Your staff member is the architect of an amazing counselor network. He has built a multi-school fair that has been added to the Southeast Asia fair circuit. This has allowed colleges and universities to learn about the potential of students from Myanmar. His continued focus on collaboration with other schools and working with only platforms has proven to be immensely successful.

We are very pleased to thank your staff member for his dedication to our profession. Congratulations to Mick and to The International School Yangon on his receiving the 2022 Fall GEM Award.

Most sincerely,

Brandon Mack, M.Ed
Interim Director of Operations
