Awardees are Dr. Kerri Camp, associate dean of the Soules College of Business; Dr. Colin Snider, associate professor of history; and Dr. Amy Hayes, assistant professor of psychology.

"We are proud to recognize these exceptional educators for their passion for teaching and dedication in developing students beyond the classroom," said Chase Ragland, student development specialist who coordinates the leadership and service office. "Members are encouraged to submit names of those faculty members who they feel have gone above and beyond."

Finalists are then selected by students on the executive board, he said.
