PSEOP Awards
Lisa Brungart Leadership Award
This award is being named in memory of Lisa Brungart, who passed away December 2008. It recognizes and rewards a PSEOP member who exhibits exemplary performance; shows outstanding spirit and teamwork; and carries out the duties of their position with integrity and dedication. Both on and off campus, the awardee favorably represents PSEOP. The candidate should also foster an atmosphere of cooperation and creativity, which contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of their peers. Superior leadership skills, such as skillful motivation, planning and organization are also required, all of which exemplified Lisa Brungart’s commitment to PSEOP.
