Chandler Awards

Named in honor of Dr. Everett and Mrs. Arlene Chandler, the Chandler Awards honors Student Affairs employees who are enthusiastically committed to maintaining positive relationships with co-workers, Cal Poly employees and students.

Three Student Affairs employees are recognized annually as recipients of the Chandler Award. The recipients will receive a recognition gift, a $500 stipend, and their names will be placed on a perpetual plaque housed in the vice president’s office.
