Pure Gold

Pure Gold Graphic
The Robbins College Pure Gold initiative is an opportunity for College faculty and staff to be celebrated for excellence in teaching, research, service, and culture building.

Recipients of the Pure Gold Award are nominated by their peers (Robbins College faculty and staff members) in recognition of special achievements in the categories of teaching, research, service, and culture. Nominations are reviewed by the Pure Gold Review Committee, and award recipients are announced monthly by email and on the Pure Gold website. At the end of the semester, award recipients will be invited to attend a special celebratory reception in their honor.

Nominate a Pure Gold colleague today!
