The Frederick Preston Partnership Awards
Established in 1995 at the Annual Campus Life Awards Program, The Partnership Awards are presented to a University department or individual in appreciation of their continuous support to the mission of the Office of the Dean of Students and the quality of student life.
In 2003-2004, The Partnership Awards were expanded to include recognition given by the Interfaith Center.
In May 2006, the Partnership Awards were named for Dr. Frederick R. Preston, Vice President for Student Affairs from 1981-2005.
Since May 2007, the Partnership Awards have been presented at a special occasion separate from the Campus Life Awards, which have been renamed The Jerrold L. Stein Student Life Awards.
