Nominate a Student for Women in Non-Traditional Career Awards

The WIN program is designed to celebrate, acknowledge and validate the successes of CNM students working and studying in non-traditional program areas. This is also an opportunity to celebrate instructors, administration and organizations that support CNM students. By honoring students and those who support them, the AAWCC also hopes to inspire other women to seek careers not traditionally held by women. The Women in Non-Traditional Careers recognition event will be held on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 in SRC 204. The event will start with a reception to meet the candidates at 3 pm and the program will be held from 3:30-5 pm.

Please read the award descriptions below and nominate your students/peers on the email link below.  The winners will be selected by a panel of AAWCC members and college leadership.
