Help us to recognize and honor the outstanding work that is being done across ASU! Each year the Commission on the Status of Women seeks to honor individuals, groups, or teams whose efforts most exemplify and further the mission of the CSW — to identify, advocate for, and increase awareness of needed change in the university in order to enhance opportunities for women and underrepresented groups.
Over the years, the CSW has honored a long list of individuals for contributions such as outstanding advocacy, leadership, mentorship, volunteerism, and research benefiting women and underrepresented groups. Accordingly the CSW is delighted to announce this call for nominations for our seventeenth annual CSW Outstanding Achievement and Contribution Award.
Nominations are due by Tuesday, March 29.
All students, faculty, staff, and administrators from all campuses are eligible to nominate and/or to receive the award. (Please see nomination form for complete rules and procedures).
Award nominations and contributions will be evaluated across the following categories:
Contributions by
- Faculty
- Staff
- Student (Undergraduate/Graduate)
- Student Club, Organization, or Team
- Employee Club, Organization, or Team
- University Program or Initiative benefitting students, staff, or faculty
Award nominees and recipients will be honored at the CSW Awards Breakfast in April.
