Introduction

The Outstanding Community Engagement Award was created in 2009 by Provost Shirley Willihnganz as a way to recognize faculty, staff, students and community partners who are involved in outstanding community engagement service. A monetary award of $2,500 will go to each recipient engaged in exemplary community engagement activities such as volunteerism, community based learning, outreach, partnerships, curricular engagement or community based research.

Recipients will be selected based on their work to improve community, particularly in the areas of, but not necessarily, Education, Health, Economic Development, Social Services, Arts and Culture, or Sustainability. The award is intended to recognize outstanding local, regional, rural, or international engagement.

All nominees will be invited to attend the Community Engagement Reception in October 2013 where award recipients will be announced.

Previous award recipients are not eligible to apply for this award cycle, however previous nominations are encouraged to resubmit. Self-nominations are not accepted.
