Awards Information
Administrator Leadership Award
The Administrator Leadership Awards recognize and celebrate the excellence in leadership among the College’s eligible administrators. The President, Senior Vice Presidents, and Chief of Staff and Strategy Officer are not eligible to receive this award.
Awards are non-monetary and consist of a collegewide recognition of the administrator’s service through a nominal gift (a plaque or keepsake) and a note to their personnel file.
The three award categories are:
