A total of $10,000 was handed out to students, staff and faculty who were nominated and selected for their engagement, risk-taking, cross-disciplinary collaboration and data-driven decision-making. Open nominations were held during the first part of the 2014 Spring semester and category winners were selected by the voting of students, the College of Business Administration Student Ambassadors, the UCF College Executive Committee and the UCF College of Business Administration\u2019s Advisory Board. The awards ranged from $500-$1,000. Each nominee received a certificate and the category winner received an autographed baseball from the Dean. The baseballs harken back to Dean Jarley\u2019s challenge to the college and community to \u201ctake the ball\u201d and become part of the college\u2019s movement to create and foster a culture of transformation.<\/p>\n
