Kishwaukee College is currently accepting nominations for the 2026 Impact Awards. The annual program recognizes Kish employees who exemplify the College’s mission and values through outstanding performance, service and dedication.
Community members, students and employees are encouraged to submit entries highlighting the dedicated efforts of Kish faculty and staff. Formerly the Awards of Excellence, Kish reimagined and renamed the recognition as the Impact Awards, reflecting a stronger focus on student impact and alignment with the College’s goals.
“The Impact Awards are a great opportunity for our community members to acknowledge the Kish employees who go above and beyond to support student success,” said Tricia Myers, Director of Organizational Development.
All full-time employees, part-time employees and adjunct faculty members (other than Senior Leadership Team members) are eligible to be nominated for an award. The five award categories are full-time faculty/librarians, adjunct faculty, support staff, professional staff/advisors, and part-time staff.
Nominations are open until 4 pm Thursday, Feb. 5. Learn more or submit an Impact Awards nomination form at kish.edu/impact-awards.
