Department Award Nominations
Department Awards are a fantastic way to recognize & celebrate the work, energy, and commitment that our CAFS Department members are bringing to the CSUSB community and beyond. If you know of any students (undergrad or graduate) or faculty who you feel are deserving of an award, please nominate them here.
Self-nominations are completely allowed! You are welcome to nominate more than one person. We prioritize students who are graduating in this academic year for the student awards, but all students are welcome to be nominated. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Lisa Looney (lisa.looney@csusb.edu).
