The Thomas M. Magoon
Innovation Award recognizes innovative programming or service achievements by a
university or college counseling agency.
This award is given in the spirit of the long-standing CCAPS/ACPA
conference presentation entitled Innovations
in Counseling, and in particular in honor of the originator and coordinator
of that presentation, Dr. Thomas M. Magoon.
The Magoon Innovation Award
is given annually to a counseling agency that has provided inventive and
original programming or service during the past year. In particular, CCAPS encourages nominations that reflect the
inclusion and integration of multicultural competence and values. The recipient will receive a plaque and
certificate from CCAPS and will be honored at the ACPA annual convention.
Eligibility: Eligible
agencies shall be an organizational unit within a college or university.
Nominations must be made by at least one professional staff person of the
agency who is an active member of CCAPS.
Nominations for the award are to be in the form of a nominating
letter that briefly discusses the unique nature of the program or service,
the originality of its design and implementation, and the benefits gained by
students and/or the campus community.
The nomination letter should also be accompanied by letters of
support. No more than three letters
of support will be accepted, and supporting documentation of the innovative
program or service to be considered may be submitted in lieu of letters of
support. The nominated innovative
program or service should occur between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2005. The deadline for submissions is October
