Established in 1997, Exceptional Faculty Awards (EFA) recognize outstanding faculty, both full- and part-time, at both SCC and SFCC. Any faculty member, including librarians and counselors, administrator, exempt staff member, classified staff member, or student can submit a nomination.
Each year, the Saling Awards for Excellence honors outstanding staff members at the Community Colleges of Spokane. Professional-Exempt employees and mid-level administrators (under the Vice President level) are eligible for nomination.
Every year, one three-year, $50,000 award will be provided to the project that best focuses on emerging trends and regional needs and that emphasizes subject matter that students need now and in the future.
