Members of the Syracuse University community are invited to submit nominations for the 2018 Chancellor’s Award for Public Engagement and Scholarship. The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 12.
One undergraduate and one graduate student will be given CAPES awards for service to the community.
The Chancellor’s Award for Public Engagement and Scholarship (CAPES) is one of the awards that will be presented at the One University Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 20. The CAPES award has been updated this year to recognize two individual students, one undergraduate and one graduate.
One undergraduate and one graduate student who have significantly engaged in their community as part of a dynamic learning experience will be recognized. Syracuse University embraces this commitment to promote positive change that simultaneously advances knowledge and meets real-world needs, magnifying impact and interconnectedness.
First presented in 1992, the award grew out of an interest among students working with Syracuse University Students for the United Way to honor fellow students for their contributions to the community. The Chancellor’s Award for Public Engagement and Scholarship furthers that objective.
