Professional Excellence Award
This award recognizes the student who has demonstrated excellent professional behavior and growth throughout the academic year through his or her activities on and off campus, and how the knowledge and skills gained from SCPD programs enabled that professional behavior. Factors that are considered in this award would include active participation in professional organizations, a willingness to dress, act and speak in a professional manner, and a demonstrated effort to improve professional skills and attributes through workshops, reading and other professional development activities.

The winner will be recognized on our website and social media platforms.
