Golden Spoke Award
The Golden Spoke Award was created to honor campus and community partners who go above and beyond in fostering a more inclusive and welcoming environment for our students with disabilities. Awards are presented annually each Spring Semester during the Office of Disability Services Scholarship Banquet.
Nominations
Do you know of a faculty or staff member who has gone above and beyond? Is there a campus department or service provider who has done an exceptional job? Show your appreciation by nominating them for the Golden Spoke Award. Note: Anonymous nominations will not be considered. ODS staff members are not eligible to receive the award.
