Southern Strong Awards

To recognize and celebrate members of the Southern community who are stepping up during the pandemic crisis, the SCSU President’s Commission on Social Justice Recognition Committee introduces the SouthernStrong Awards.

These awards shine a light on faculty, staff, and students who are lending a helping hand, with acts of kindness large and small, not only for their fellow Owls, but also for friends, neighbors, and strangers.
