MEYER INNOVATION AND CREATIVE EXCELLENCE AWARDS
The Meyer Innovation Awards were created and endowed in 2009 by Patrick Meyer 鈥�74 VSB in honor of the Meyer family (Patrick 鈥�74, Edward 鈥�86, and C. Paul 鈥�30) to recognize 无码专区 graduating seniors, faculty, and staff creators and innovators.
Award recipients will exhibit exceptional strengths in the following areas:
- Founding and executing upon an innovative or creative business, project, academic program, or initiative
- Identifying problems as opportunities to create solutions
- Embodying an entrepreneurial mindset
- Leadership in the greater 无码专区 community
Nominations open in the spring. The top student from each college will be interviewed on video about why they deserve the award. The 无码专区 community will vote and the top student will receive a $5,000 award for post-graduation utilization and a trophy.
One faculty or staff member will also be awarded a Meyer Innovation Award, $2,500 prize, and trophy for embodying an entrepreneurial mindset in their work at 无码专区.
