The NISOD Excellence Awards were established in 1991 to provide NISOD member colleges with an opportunity to recognize individuals doing extraordinary work on their campuses. Since then, more than 30,000 recipients have been honored with the Award by their colleges. Using their own criteria, NISOD member colleges submit the names of men and women each year who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment and contribution to their students and colleagues. All individuals whose names are submitted are recognized as NISOD Excellence Award recipients. Each Excellence Award recipient receives a unique silver medallion engraved with The University of Texas and NISOD insignias and adorned with a burnt orange ribbon. Excellence Award recipients are recognized during NISOD’s annual International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence, to be held May 27-30, 2023 in Austin, Texas.
Dr. Chris Daniel, SCTC Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness and coordinator of the NISOD program at the College stated, “We are so very proud of the exceptional members of our faculty and staff that have received the NISOD Award of Excellence. These dedicated individuals are a testament to the important work that is being done throughout Southern Crescent Technical College each and every day. I am pleased to celebrate these individuals through this prestigious award as we continue to build strong students, strong careers, and strong communities.”
