Every year, the Center for Disability Resources formally recognizes individual faculty and staff who have gone above and beyond for students. Although working with students is always a collaborative effort, there are individuals who have exceeded our expectations and embrace our culture of empowering students, inclusion, and celebrating disability as diversity.
- CDR looks to students to submit their nominations for Faculty and Staff who have gone above and beyond to support them and/or their peers.
- We ask all nominees and nominators to attend the event. If a student’s nomination is selected, they will be contacted via email and offered the chance to personally present their nominee with the award.
- While we appreciate the recognition of CDR staff members, they are ineligible to receive this award.
