- P 鈥� Passion/Personal
- E 鈥� Empathy/Excellence/Enthusiasm
- T 鈥� Trust and Teamwork
- A 鈥� Accountable/Acts
- L 鈥� Leader/Learner
- S 鈥� Selflessness/Integrity/Student
Faculty members who are awarded The DAISY Award become lifelong honorees no matter where their careers take them. As honorees, they receive The DAISY Award of Extraordinary Faculty certificate, which reads, 鈥淭o honor your exceptional impact on your students and your inspirational influence on their future.鈥� They also receive a DAISY Faculty Award pin, a hand-carved serpentine stone sculpture titled 鈥淎 Healer鈥檚 Touch,鈥� and a spotlight on the Foundation鈥檚 website.
鈥淚n times like these, I struggle with thoughts of, 鈥楢m I doing enough and making the difference I wanted to make when I became a registered nurse?鈥欌�� said Jamie State, Manager of Program Faculty at 黑料传送门 and the university鈥檚 first recipient of The DAISY Award. 鈥淏eing a DAISY Award honoree at 黑料传送门 is a humbling honor that allows me to realize that I am making a difference.鈥澛�
