The Fran Brown Humanitarian Award
The purpose of this award is to recognize and reward an outstanding member of our campus community—or a campus team—for fostering an environment that values civility and celebrates diversity. This individual or team will consistently build community by appreciating each person's uniqueness and by making everyone feel welcomed. This award is named after a former campus employee who in her day-to-day interactions epitomized these core values of sensitivity and concern for others. Different individuals may demonstrate these characteristics in a variety of ways: through humor, thoughtfulness, diplomacy, a non-judgmental orientation, an openness to being a supportive listener, patience, and/or an attitude that enables others to feel empowered.
