Student Affairs Awards

Horseshoe Award

The Horseshoe Award is an easy way to recognize Student Affairs colleagues who go above and beyond. Anyone can send a Horseshoe award to a DSA staff member throughout the year as an easy way to say thank you.

The recipient will be sent a printable award via email, with a message of gratitude from their nominator. All Horseshoe award winners each academic year will be recognized at the DSA End of Year Celebration.
