Last Chance to Submit Nominations for the Leadership Awards

There is still time to honor individuals or groups who have made a difference in your life and the lives of others at CC.

As part of our strategic initiative to foster workplace excellence, it’s important to recognize those who are making a difference.

Submit nominations for the President’s Leadership Awards to recognize colleagues who make an impact as strong leaders, innovative role models, and positive collaborators now through the end of Block 3. The deadline to submit nominations is November 18. Previous winners were nominated by faculty or staff colleagues.

Check out examples of winning nominations to help inspire you in drafting a stand-out submission. Tips include telling a detailed story about the person or group and how they demonstrated the qualities of the award namesake, the college’s leadership philosophy, and CC’s antiracism efforts.

Nominate a deserving colleague or team of individuals, based on the following criteria:

  • Brian Young Community Service Award: This awardee demonstrates a continued pattern of voluntary service to the college and exceeding their job duties, as demonstrated by former Vice President for Information Technology Brian Young. The awardee must have been employed by the college for five years or more. Submit a nomination.
  • Victor Nelson-Cisneros Diversity and Inclusion Award: This awardee exemplifies the qualities of former Associate Dean of the College Victor Nelson-Cisneros in supporting diversity and inclusion on campus. Submit a nomination.
  • Glenn Brooks Innovation and Courage Award: This awardee displays the courage and innovative qualities of former Dean of the College/Dean of the Faculty Glenn Brooks, who was one of the founders of the Block Plan. Submit a nomination.
  • Jane Cauvel Cultivating Collaboration and Community-building Award: This awardee cultivates collaboration on campus and is a community-builder, as exemplified by Jane Cauvel, professor of philosophy emerita, and the college’s first ombudsperson. Submit a nomination.

Winners each year will receive: $2,500 cash prize, a feature on the President’s Leadership Awards website, and a leadership trophy to display for a full year. Winners will be announced at Spring Conference on January 27. The individuals who submit winning nominations will also be recognized.

Thank you for helping to recognize CC’s exceptional leaders, and to honor the individuals who strive to make our college great.

Block 4: Antiracism Goal Implementation Forum

Block 4:

Antiracism Goal Implementation Forum
The FEC’s number one priority this year is to support the college in implementing the antiracism plan goals while upholding academic freedom.  We are co-sponsoring a series of forums from Blocks two to seven with each forum focusing on a specific goal of the antiracism plan.  The summary of feedback from past forums is available on the FEC canvas.

The third forum will be on Wednesday, December 7 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Tutt Library 238.  We sincerely hope that you will attend and give us your feedback to inform our future work on implementing the antiracism plan goals.  The goal for this forum is to discuss how to Support & Engage all Faculty & Staff in Antiracism Work.  Please join us for a fearless but mutually respectful dialogue. To make the forum as productive as possible, please review the initiatives that are part of this goal, which can be found here, and review a glossary of ADEI terms, which can be found here.

Save the Date: 1M Block 4 with Kathryn Lofton

Mark your calendar for Monday, Nov. 28, at 11:15 a.m. and start Block 4 together with the campus community and our First Mondays speaker.

Join us for a talk by Kathryn Lofton, a Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar, about celebrities, politics, and power. This talk uses celebrities to think about political power. It explains how any analyst of American politics needs to understand, among many other politically consequential facts, what Kanye West is saying and why Madison Cawthorn’s marriage matters. Lofton will discuss how thinking about celebrities allows us to consider how individuals may deploy their stories for purposes bigger than mere ratings, and how popularity is a resource to be molded as much as it is chased. 
Block 4 First Mondays
Nov. 28, 11:15 a.m.
Kathryn Mohrmann Theatre
Or join via Zoom. Register in advance for this webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
The First Mondays Event Series is a campus-wide forum that aims to engage all members of the CC community, including students, staff, administrators, and faculty. The series creates opportunities for the whole community to gather, encouraging everyone to be part of the intellectual life of the college, and facilitating discourse among students, faculty, and staff, across courses, disciplines, and divisions. Classes are dismissed early on the first Monday of each block so that all may attend the First Mondays event.
