The Vanguard Award has been conferred upon post-secondary nontraditional students since its inception in 1993. The Vanguard acknowledges and commends outstanding students who are enrolled in Tech Prep and other Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs that are not traditional for their gender. This year we continue the practice of recognizing and honoring these students for their achievements.
The student winners receive their awards at a Conference. At the awards ceremony the winners are also presented with a certificate and receive public recognition as role models for others considering nontraditional careers. Eligible post-secondary students are to be nominated by faculty and staff of CTE programs throughout New York State.
Please contact us at Drefki@albany.edu and at 518.442.5127 with any
questions in the meanwhile.
