"This annual award series was created to recognize the invaluable contributions made to the College by staff who serve the Hunter community as Higher Education Officers. HEO Awards are given to individuals in the HEO title series from the offices of the Provost, Vice President for Student Affairs, Vice President for Finance and Administration, and Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Awards will be based on significant contributions to improving the lives of students, faculty and staff at Hunter.

Faculty and HEOs are invited to nominate a HEO colleague whose efforts have had an appreciable effect on the Hunter community and its constituencies."

"HEOs are truly a vital component of the College, and these awards will give us the opportunity to acknowledge their important work and reward outstanding performance. We look forward to once again giving this well-deserved recognition to Hunter's HEOs."

Jennifer J. Raab
President
