Great work happens across CSN every day. The kind that doesn’t always come with applause, but absolutely deserves it.

Nominations are now open for CSN’s Excellence Awards and Distinguished Employee Awards, which will be presented at Fall 2026 Convocation. This is your chance to shine a light on a colleague, team member or even yourself whose work goes above and beyond for students, the college or the community.

Awards recognize excellence across a wide range of areas, including teaching, service, research, assessment, online instruction and community engagement. Distinguished awards are also available for classified employees, part-time faculty, administrative faculty and full-time faculty. Cash prizes are awarded, and nominees are also considered for national NISOD honors.

Submit nominations by April 19, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.
