2018 Faculty and Staff Awards
Dr. Tracy D. Hall with President's Award winner Dr. Verneta Boone. See more recipients in the 2018 Faculty and Staff Awards photo album.
President Tracy D. Hall delivered a hearty Saluqi Salute to this year’s faculty and
staff award recipients. Thank you for all you do to make Southwest better,
she said. Our reputation has not always been stellar—a dropped ball impacts all of us—but there
is evidence in the community that we are getting it right. Our enrollment is at its
highest in the past several years and we are providing students with the services
they need to be successful. Our success is because of you.
