Associate Professor Zsuzsanna Palmer

She is also involved in training faculty to facilitate virtual exchange projects. For her international focus in pedagogy, she has received the Internationalization Award from GVSU and was recognized by the Association for Business Communication.
Her research interests include intercultural communication, localization, writing technologies, and accessible usability.
