This event and the awards are a celebration and recognition of the work of our faculty, staff and students who successfully integrate public engagement into their academic, research, service learning initiatives and service programs thereby maximizing the University’s impact on the communities with whom it engages by co-creating a culture of planetary well-being through civic action.

- Faculty members in other than tenure track,
- Undergraduate students
- Full Time Staff
