Cavanaugh Community Volunteer Award

One Cavanaugh Community Volunteer Award is given each year to a Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ graduating undergraduate or graduate student with a record of outstanding community service work. The award winner will be honored at the Honor the Best Ceremony in May.

Eligibility and nominations

To be eligible, you must be a graduating undergraduate or graduate student with a record of outstanding community service work, not for academic credit, during your years as a college student.

Nominations are solicited in early spring each year from Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ faculty and staff. The nomination package should include a formal nomination letter, a CV, and three support letters, at least one from a Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ faculty member. A selection committee containing representatives from the provost's office, student services and faculty members will meet to review and discuss the nominees and arrive at a winner.

2024 award nominations will be accepted beginning in January. The deadline for nominations will be Thursday, February 15, 2024 at 5 p.m. Late nominations will not be considered.

Nominations should be submitted to Karen Gotchy.
