Recognizing Faculty, Staff & Students

   |    ALL COEHD

We are proud of the accomplishments of COEHD faculty, students, and staff, but unfortunately we cannot write a full-feature article on every award or achievement that takes place. We would still like for everyone to know about these accomplishments so we have added a section to the weekly COEHDnews for Awards, Announcements and Recognition. If you know of someone in the college that deserves recognition please forward:the individuals name, department, what the honor was, and organization that gave the award.
