- The Student Union Board's M-Shop and performing arts student committees will share the Lemonade-from-Lemons Award for thinking creatively to provide virtual event options and safe live performances for audiences while creating opportunities for local musicians and comedians to perform.
- Jordan Brooks, director of equity, inclusion and multicultural student success, College of Design, will receive the Art Educator Award (secondary education) for his efforts to merge his degrees in art, counseling and higher education to share inclusive practices.
