CUPRAP AWARDS

Nominations for our CUPRAP awards, and applications for our CUPRAP Diversity Scholarship, are now open for 2023. Submit your nominations now for the Arthur V. Ciervo Award, which recognizes an outstanding individual from outside our organization for their impact on higher education; the Don Hale Award, which honors one of CUPRAP’s own; and the Joseph W. Donovan Rising Star Award, for an individual with great potential in the communications field. In addition, the CUPRAP Diversity Scholarship is for minority or LGBTQ students pursuing careers in communications.

The deadline for the submission of award nominations and scholarship applications is December 30, 2022. Please share information about the CUPRAP Diversity Scholarship directly with qualified students at your institution or through your communications/public relations faculty or financial aid offices.

We hope to see you at our annual spring conference, March 8-10, 2023, at the Lancaster County Convention Center and Marriott Penn Square Hotel in Lancaster, Pa, when we distribute awards to the CUPPIE and CUPRAP award winners.
