As part of our ongoing efforts to recognize contributions and excellence in a variety of areas, FCCS has established three awards for the members of the FCCS community. These awards present FCCS with yet another opportunity to express gratitude for the contributions that advance our mission and the objectives of our strategic plan and to shine the spotlight on those contributions.
The Teaching Awards for Excellence and Innovation were first awarded in the fall of 2013. Allison Hargreaves was the recipient of the Teaching Excellence Award, and Karis Shearer was the recipient of the Teaching Innovation Award. This year, we are excited to introduce the Community Engagement Award and the Service Award.
