Student Affairs Awards
In 2016, the Division created the Student Affairs Awards Ceremony to honor their outstanding achievements and recognize exemplary commitment to 无码变态. The Student Affairs mission states, 鈥渙ur students will achieve success through practical application of knowledge by becoming engaged ethical leaders who serve their local and global communities.鈥� The ceremony is the embodiment of that practical application and provides an opportunity to applaud the success of many individuals and programs.
