Criteria for the award included event organization, originality of theme, audience response, and planner professionalism. “I’m surprised, honored, and excited to receive this award,” said Cox. “But I have to give credit to my co-workers Ben Mullins and Giang Tran, along with our graduate assistants. They deserve a ton of praise for all they do in pulling these events together, and I couldn’t do it without them.” The Lindenwood Student Life and Leadership Office plans approximately 30 events annually and also assists the school’s 70-plus student organizations with the staging of events each year.
