Unitek to receive prestigious award from the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools
Unitek College is thrilled to announce they have been selected as the CAPPS 2021 2nd Place-Silver Community Service Award Winner. The primary mission of the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) is to serve the California private postsecondary sector by advocating for the interests of their members and students. CAPPS also promotes the image of their schools, communicate state and national issues, and offer professional development opportunities.
“We are so thrilled to receive this award from CAPPS. It’s an honor and a privilege,” said Janis Paulson, Chief Executive Officer at Unitek College. “CAPPS is one of the nation’s largest associations representing private, postsecondary colleges. They work to ensure that students have options when selecting their educational institution.”
The CAPPS Excellence in Community Service Awards were inaugurated in 2016 to recognize CAPPS-member schools that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to their local community. They offer these awards to recognize and encourage initiatives in community service, service learning, and civic engagement that have a significant impact on the communities served by their schools.
Unitek College will be honored during the upcoming CAPPS Legislative Policy Conference scheduled for April 22-23, 2021. They will receive a plaque and crystal award to recognize their efforts. During the conference, Unitek will also present a short video detailing how their campuses contributed to several hospitals and organizations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“At Unitek, we care greatly about our communities,” said Dr. Navneet Bhasin, Chief Operations Officer at Unitek College. “As an institution that provides various student-run initiatives, we are committed to helping others while educating the next generation. We believe academia and inclusivity are absolutely vital when it comes to supporting the future of healthcare. This is a core belief that CAPPS shares with all of us at Unitek.”
