CALE Excellence Awards 2021

CALE Awards for Excellence

Taking the time to reflect on our achievements is one of my favorite parts of the year. It gives us the chance to celebrate our work as scholars and educators. It enables us to reflect on how we have helped students reach new heights of knowledge and wisdom in their chosen disciplines. Above all, I invite you to join us in recognizing these outstanding achievements, achievements that inspire us to teach, and to learn.
