Division of Student Affairs Awards

In conjunction with the launch of the Strategic Plan,  Cultivating Courageous Change, the Division of Student Affairs established awards to honor those staff members and colleagues whose performance exemplifies the values we hold as a division and qualities we strive for as we serve students.

 

Courageous Change Leader

5 years or more in 快活林性息 Student Affairs
The Courageous Change Leader (CCL) award is the highest honor bestowed on a staff member within the Division of Student Affairs. As a division we established six commitment statements identifying how we expect staff to approach their work holistically supporting students in the development of meaningful lives. These commitment statements are the overarching expectations for our work in this student-centered environment. The CCL award recognizes one or two staff members within the division who embody these commitment statements.

Courageous Change Leaders are chosen by the Vice President's Leadership Team (VPLT) and receive a $1,000 honorarium, plaque, and one additional day off. (VPLT members are ineligible for this award).

Impact

This award recognizes a professional who is a game-changer on campus and within the division. Recipients are outstanding performers whose contributions to our division through their work celebrate a positive impact in the lives of our students, in advancement of our strategic plan, and/or in creating community in our division.

The Impact awardee is selected by an ad-hoc committee and receive a $500 honorarium, plaque, and one additional day off.

Less than 3 years in 快活林性息 Student Affairs
This award recognizes a professional newer to the division who shows strong potential for excelling in our division of student affairs and whose positive contributions are noteworthy. New perspectives, new energy, and new ideas can impact our work in profound and meaningful ways.
