The Division of Inclusion is pleased to confer Beloved Community Awards for distinguished contributions in the areas of Community Engagement and Inclusion.

Since 2020, the college has presented the Beloved Community Awards in the spring semester. The first awards were given in the inclusion category only.  In 2023, the Sycamore Community Engagement Award was added.

Each year students, staff, faculty, and members of the community are selected from campus-wide nominations to receive these well-deserved awards.
