For 10 years, Kelley Brayton led Santa Monica College’s Global Citizenship initiative
while simultaneously internationalizing the campus community through increased international
student enrollment, a comprehensive and inclusive study abroad program and global
minded events and programs that enriched the SMC community. In recognition of these
efforts, Santa Monica College received two prestigious national awards—the Senator
Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalization from NAFSA Association of
International Educators and the 2017 Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International
Education from the Institute of International Education. In celebration of these achievements
and in honor of the recognition the College has received for these efforts, the Brayton
family introduces the Kelley Brayton Global Citizen Leadership Award. This scholarship will be for SMC students who demonstrate global citizenship through
campus leadership and service. Please, join us in celebrating Kelley’s legacy by donating
to this exciting opportunity.
