2023 Awards

• Learn about the Campus Compact Awardees

Each May, cash awards for civic engagement are given to graduating seniors. A committee made up of faculty, staff, and community representatives will select the award recipient(s) each spring.

The committee looks for students who have made a significant contribution of time and effort in the community, and provided leadership to their peers. Past winners have been able to articulate what they have learned from their experiences, as well as what the community gained. These are endowed awards, which means they have specific criteria determined by the donors.
