Awards Program

This award is presented throughout the year to members of the support, facility operations, public safety and administrative staff who have made an exceptional contribution to the College by working on a special project or event or providing some type of extraordinary service beyond their normal job responsibilities. Award recipients will be recognized by their department and will receive $200 in their paycheck. Those individuals nominated may receive the Leopard Award once per calendar year, to allow opportunities for many outstanding recipients.
