Annual Awards Recognize Faculty, Staff

June 19, 2020

On the afternoon of June 17, about 60 CDH faculty and staff gathered on-site (with masks and social distancing) and another 60 virtually to celebrate our Values Award winners and recognize and say good-bye to those who are leaving. President Frank Miley and Principal Mona Passman thanked all for coming together, supporting each other, and delivering quality online learning with little lead-time.  

These nominations came from faculty and staff. Final recipients were selected by the Academic Committee of the Board and Frank Miley.
