Awards Committee (Robinson)

Due to lacking applications, it was recommended we should nominate someone internally who is supportive of our work as means to help get the word out for the award in future years. Members on the call agreed this was a good decision to start. Recommendations for nominations included individuals who participated in the data blitz during NASPA conference in March 2017. These individuals includedRebecca Crandallfrom Ohio State (spirituality and student-athletes), David Weireich UNC-Greensboro (profiling NCAA Innovations grant; presenting on behalf of someone else who had completed the research), Eric Hartung (mental health findings from the NCAA goals study), and Markesha Henderson and Ann Merram (examining student-athlete fitness). Rebecca Crandall’s name was brought forward for consideration. Leah also mentioned potential for NASPA publication contributors. Markesha removed herself from consideration as presented topic was not directly related to her research. Rebecca from Ohio State was selected to be recipient for award this year. Leah brought up that this could be a great way to recruit individuals for data blitz moving forward. Next steps is to find Rebecca’s study information to help share forward. Leah and Amber will look for specific information to share forward.
