Jill Carnaghi, Ph.D., director of campus life and assistant vice chancellor for students, was presented with the 2007 Richard Caple Professional Award from the Missouri College Personnel Association (MOCPA) at an awards ceremony Sept. 24.
“It’s a great honor, as well as quite humbling, to be recognized by your peers,” Carnaghi said. “It makes it that much nicer having worked with and having great respect for Dick Caple and all he models in our efforts to effectively serve students and to play a role in their growth and development.”
The Richard Caple Professional Award is given for significant contributions to research and practice in student affairs and/or the state association. It is open to students, faculty and student affairs professionals in the state of Missouri.
MOCPA is an association for student affairs professionals across the state. The purpose is to promote the learning and development of students enrolled in institutions of postsecondary education through the ongoing professional development of college student affairs administrators and student development educators, in accord with the purposes of the American College Personnel Association.
