Along with the honor and prestige that come with winning any of the awards, there is also a cash prize.  Individual award recipients receive $1,500; teams receive up to $5,000 (maximum $1,000 per individual).  In addition, winners of the Civic Engagement Award may designate a charity of his/her choice to also receive $1,000.

Two teams from the College of Nursing and Health Professions have been selected in the past.  In 2009, Stephen and Sandra Sheller 11th Street Family Health Services won President’s Award for Intercultural Engagement & Diversity, and in 2013 the RN-BSN Online Team won the Award for Excellence. 

Nominations for the 2016 President’s Award for Diversity open in June and will be awarded in November.  For more information, nomination criteria, and to view past recipients, please visit the President’s Awards webpage.
