Dear Faculty and Staff,

It was wonderful to have nearly 270 faculty and staff join our Spring Conference last Friday. Thanks to the Cabinet members for sharing updates from their areas.

It was my honor to announce the winners of this year’s President’s Leadership Awards:

Lin Okonek, esports coordinator, received the Victor Nelson-Cisneros Award for Diversity and Inclusion.
Heidi R. Lewis, associate professor and director of Feminist and Gender Studies and coordinator of Early Career Faculty Development Programs, received the Glenn Brooks Award for Innovation and Courage.
Amy Hill, director of campus activities and student orientation, received the Jane Cauvel Award for Collaboration and Community Building.
Lyrae Williams, associate vice president of institutional planning & effectiveness, received the inaugural Brian Young Community Service Award.

Congratulations to all who were nominated and many thanks to those who took the time to recognize colleagues by submitting nominations.

Thank you for joining us and for all the great work you do for CC!

Sincerely,
