The College of Southern Nevada (CSN) is calling for nominations for its annual Recognition Rocks awards. This initiative aims to acknowledge colleagues who have made significant contributions to the institution. The awards will be presented at the Fall 2025 Convocation, highlighting achievements in various categories such as assessment, community service, online teaching, research, and service to CSN.

Up to ten awards will be given out, with recipients receiving $500 each. Additionally, four Distinguished Employee of the Year awards are up for grabs, rewarding excellence among administrative faculty, classified staff, part-time faculty, and full-time faculty. Winners in these categories will receive a $2,500 cash prize.

The nomination process is straightforward; individuals can nominate themselves or others by visiting csn.edu/irc and submitting the required form by April 18, 2025. For inquiries about the process, Jenn Daughtery can be contacted via email at jennifer.daughtery@csn.edu.

“Let’s give them the recognition they deserve—because Recognition Rocks!” said a spokesperson from CSN.
