Campus Collaboration Award

Description of the Award
The Campus Collaboration award has been created to recognize and award student organizations that have collaborated on an all-campus program. The organizations’ activities should model the definition of collaboration: to labor together; to act jointly; work side by side; create together; and unite.

All organizations involved in the program should work collectively on the completion of the 1-2 page typed narrative. In addition, all of the organizations’ presidents must sign off on the Campus Collaboration Award Form stating that their groups did participate in the program and they are aware that the program is being considered for this award.
