After a two-year hiatus, the Awards for Excellence and Excellence in Safety Award ceremony was held to induct 19 Awards for Excellence recipients and six Excellence in Safety Award recipients.

These individuals represent employees who have gone above and beyond in their office, building, campus or community, and coworkers who improve the safety of their workplaces.

Congratulations to all of the winners and many thanks to the nominators because without these nominations we couldn’t celebrate the great work done within our college.
