celebrating 150 years of excellence in education
The Minnesota Campus Compact Presidents’ Awards
provide an opportunity for member presidents and
chancellors to give statewide recognition to effective
leaders in the development of campus-community
partnerships. Acknowledgment of outstanding
collaborative work not only informs and inspires others’
efforts, but also encourages greater support for higher
education’s civic engagement initiatives.
Each president or chancellor from a Minnesota Campus Compact member institution
may recognize one honoree in each of the following three award categories:
Presidents’ Student Leadership Award
This award is for an individual student or a student organization that models a deep
commitment to civic responsibility and leadership, evidenced by initiative,
innovative and collaborative approaches to addressing public issues, effective
community building, and integration of civic engagement into the college
experience.
Presidents’ Civic Engagement Steward Award
This award is for a member of the faculty, administration, or staff or for a group
(e.g., advisory committee, task force, project team) that has significantly advanced
their campus’ distinctive civic mission by forming strong partnerships, supporting
others’ civic engagement, and working to institutionalize a culture and practice of
engagement.
Presidents’ Community Partner Award
This award is for a community-based organization that has enhanced the quality of
life in the community in meaningful and measurable ways and has engaged in the
development of sustained, reciprocal partnerships with the college or university,
thus enriching educational as well as community outcomes.
Honorees and presidents will celebrate the nature and results of this exemplary work at an
awards ceremony and luncheon during Minnesota Campus Compact’s Annual
Summit to be held April 10, 2019 at St. Catherine University in St. Paul.
Award winners will receive a certificate and recognition in the event program, and the
photo and brief profile provided will be displayed on the event PowerPoint, then posted on
MNCC’s website. Recipients will also be invited to participate throughout the Summit and to
consider sharing a brief “This I Believe” statement during the awards ceremony.
While we encourage presidents and chancellors to include both campus- and community-
based civic engagement leaders in selecting award recipients based on the criteria above,
the specific process used to identify honorees is determined by the individual campus. The
ways campuses selected award recipients in previous years have included:
the president issuing an open call for nominations on campus, with a committee
selecting recipients;
a civic engagement committee recommending finalists to the President, who
selected the recipients; and
the president choosing to recognize previous campus-award winners.
We encourage campuses to select a recipient in each of the three award categories, but a
campus may instead choose to select an honoree in only one or two of the categories.
Every person/group selected by a member institution will be recognized at the Summit
(unless more than one nomination is submitted in a single award category).
When award recipients have been selected, please fill out and submit the Presidents’
Awards Selection Form available at mncampuscompact.org/what-we-do/campus-
compact-awards/minnesota-campus-compact-awards/ no later than February 22, 2019
including:
1. Campus name
2. Designated contact person for the Presidents’ Awards process at that campus
3. Each award recipient’s name and contact information
Brief (50 words or less) description of the reasons that person, group, or
organization was selected for this recognition
Photograph of each recipient (attach in the Selection Form at time of
submitting the form)
Minnesota Campus Compact will send all Presidents’ Award recipients a congratulatory
message and an invitation to the April 10, 2019 Summit and Awards Luncheon as
campuses submit their selected honorees.
With any questions, please contact Sinda Nichols at [email protected].
