Honoring the legacy of Johannes (Jannie) Botes
The Johannes Botes Capstone Achievement Award was established in loving memory of
retired professor Johannes (Jannie) Botes, who lost a two-year battle with ALS in January 2015. Prof. Botes had served on the faculty of the School of Public and International
Affairs since 1999. He was a world-class educator and scholar in the area of conflict
management and resolution, and was much loved by his colleagues and students. In partnership
with his family, UBalt established The Johannes Botes Capstone Achievement Award,
an annual award to recognize one student in either the Negotiations and Conflict Management
program or the Global Affairs and Human Security program for his or her outstanding
work in the final thesis capstone project.
You can learn more about the award and make a gift of remembrance here.
