Furthermore, AAD regularly mentors undergraduate and graduate students through its internship and graduate fellowship programs. AAD also continues to be involved with the two podcast series that it created back in 2018 and that are implemented with support from Arizona State University, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and a contribution from a private donor. Finally, AAD maintains a collection of diplomatic teaching resources (course syllabi, reading recommendations, supplemental guides, recorded panel discussions, and short courses), which are available on AADs website. 99579 0 0 AWARDS AND RECOGNITION - AAD presents annually the Walter & Leonore Annenberg Award for Excellence in Diplomacy, two Arthur Ross Media Awards for Distinguished Reporting and Analysis of Foreign Affairs, and the Douglas Dillon Book Award for a Book of Distinction on the Practice of American Diplomacy to individuals in recognition of their significant contributions to the field of diplomacy.
