SHP Awards
Every year, the School of Health Professions recognizes top faculty, staff and students with awards. The difficult task of narrowing down the best to one person goes to our Honors and Recognition Committee.
The 2020-2021 committee, chaired by Sarah Tucker, includes Norman Bolus, Amanda Dorsey, Mary Foster, Heather Lee, John Lowman, Kerry McAlpine, Amanda Sherman, Daniel Smith (vice-chair), and Stephanie Ward.
Student Awards
The School of Health Professions (SHP) Student Awards will be managed by the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) with endorsement from the Program Directors. The awards will be given fall and spring semesters to an undergraduate and graduate student for each. Undergraduates will be recognized at program graduation events. SHP award recipients will also be invited to participate in the SHP Honors Recognition luncheon and University Honors ceremony, both held in the spring. The schedule for applications will be commensurate with the timing established for awarding SHP scholarships.
