The Management and Professional Staff Advisory Committee (MaPSAC) and the Campus Support Staff Advisory Committee (CSSAC) are now accepting nominations for the 2023 Community Spirit Award.

Created in 2011, the Community Spirit Award is a joint effort between MaPSAC and CSSAC and recognizes Purdue employees who volunteer their time to improve their community and the lives of those in it. The award is given annually to an M/P or C/S staff member who sets a high standard for service, encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation and inspires others to make service a central part of their lives.

Nominations will be accepted through end of business Sept. 15, and the nomination form can be found online.
