The Ludwick Center for Spirituality, Cultural Understanding, and Community Engagement presents
The Spirit of La Verne Recognition Ceremony and Reception honors individuals from our community who are living out the core values represented by the Ludwick Center: spirituality, cultural understanding, and community engagement.
Please join us for the recognition ceremony and reception on Tuesday, May 6 from 5-6 pm (1 hour event followed by a reception) at the Ludwick Center Sacred Space. Beverages and appetizer provided.
During the ceremony, each Ludwick Center department honors up to two individuals (faculty, staff or students). In addition to honoring individuals who exemplify the specific values represented by the Ludwick Center, we also honor a faculty/staff member who is an exemplar of all of our University Core Values and who has contributed significantly to the spirit of La Verne. If you would like to nominate someone for this honor, please complete this form.
The purpose of this event is to celebrate exemplars in our community and to inspire one another.
The Spirit of La Verne is sponsored by the Office of Civic and Community Engagement, the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Office of International Services and Study Abroad, and the Center for Multicultural Services.
Please join us to celebrate!
