AEL Chapter Honorary Member Award 2006:
Dr. Max E. Hess

In spring 2006, Dr. Hess together with Professor Martin Breinlinger and Ms. Sharon Hanna worked intensively toward establishing a new AEL Chapter at Clark University. Their aim was to grant recognition and promote those graduate students who worked really hard, and who therefore, deserved to be acknowledged as the best-qualified students campus-wide. It was a high honor for AEL to select Dr. Hess to receive the AEL National Honorary Member nomination. The award recognizes Dr. Hess, as a leading professional in the field of Comparative Institutions; socio-linguistics, sociology and anthropology, who has made a great contribution to the Academic life of the Nation as well as to public affairs. Dr. Max Hess completed his Ph.D. in Northeastern University, in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology in 1976. From 1970 through 1974 Dr. Hess taught courses full time to University and College students in the areas of Anthropology, Sociology and Intercultural Communications. Dr. Hess has also taught courses on Asia, Africa, Latin America, Intercultural Communications, Race and Ethnic Relations. He also taught graduate courses in Non-profit marketing, Intercultural Communications, Social Change, hiring, marketing and recruitment for several graduate and non-credit programs. Moreover, Dr. Hess is the developer and director of branch campus programs in Israel (300 students per year since 1994) and Poland (100 students per year since 2004.)

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Hess for all his hard work and dedication to the service of students, and congratulate him on his unique award of Honorary Member of AEL 2006 and wish him all the best in his personal and professional life.
