The Division of Student Affairs in 1996 established the Outstanding Program Awards. These are given to student groups that exemplify leadership by providing the University community outstanding programs that accomplish one of three goals: promoting an understanding of diversity, increasing school spirit or fostering service to others.

Diversity Programming Award: This award is presented to the group(s) which improved the campus climate by presenting a program or programs of lasting impact that increased students’ understanding of the diversity of peoples (diversity includes, among others, race, ethnicity, gender, age, class, sexual orientation, religion or disability).

Spirit Programming Award: This award is presented to the group (s) which have brought to the campus community program(s) of lasting impact that improved the campus climate by inspiring renewed school spirit and pride in our campus community.

Service Programming Award: This award is given to the group (s), which have provided service programs of lasting impact either on, or off campus.

Kristine M. Bartanen Ensemble Award:  This award is presented annually by the Dean of Students Office to an individual, group, or initiative that emulates a true spirit of collaboration and "ensemble."  It was created in 2004 to recognize the outstanding, unselfish, visionary, and collaborative leadership that Dean Bartanen provided when she served as Dean of Students & Vice-President for Student Affairs, 1999-2004.  She was the original recipient of this award.

Hearthstone Award:  This award is presented annually by the Union Board to an individual, group, or initiative that has worked to promote an exhibit, event, or program that reflects the Mission Statement of the Wheelock Student Center.  As the living room or hearthstone of the college, the student union provides for services, conveniences, and amenities the members of our college family need in their daily life on the campus and for getting to know and understand one another through informal association outside the classroom.
