Campus Community Awards

Honoring Campus Community Achievements 

UC Davis honors campus and community members for their leadership and contributions to a growing and diverse community.  Faculty, staff, students, and local community members can be honored for their achievements related to the development and well-being of our diverse and evolving community and public safety and community oriented engagement. 
 

• Calvin E. Handy Leadership Award
• The Calvin E. Handy Leadership Award is a crime prevention and public safety award that recognizes individuals based on community oriented engagement and activities that are collaborative, cooperative, and proactive. This award highlights the importance of maintaining an environment where safety is essential to the successful mission of UC Davis, UC Davis Health and its surrounding communities.  The goal of the leadership award is to promote safety and security by recognizing individuals and/or organizations on the UC Davis campus, UCD Health campus, or the surrounding communities for their contributions toward safety.  The award was developed by members of the campus community to honor Chief Emeritus Calvin Handy’s legacy of public service and leadership, and his outstanding record of engagement and relationship building. 
  
  All campus community members (student, faculty or staff) are eligible for nomination, as are citizens in the communities surrounding the UC Davis campus and UC Davis Health in Sacramento.  Business and service groups, governmental agencies, and organizations in the community are also eligible for nomination.
