Southwest’s virtual 2022 Faculty and Staff Awards.
Human Resources threw a hail mary for the 2022 Faculty and Staff Awards ceremony and it was a major touchdown. The virtual event, held on April 22, 2022, was a slam dunk for both the award winners and attendees who cheered each other on during the sports-infused celebration.
“This year we are celebrating our most valuable players who have scored the most touchdowns, homeruns and grand slams in reaching our goals,” Southwest President Dr. Tracy D. Hall said. “We have an amazing team of players lined up whose accomplishments knocked it out of the park.”
Congratulations to all!
