What is the Golden Tusk?

The Golden Tusk award is a program from the Division of Student Affairs designed to recognize those university members who go above and beyond for students and the campus community at-large.

The Division of Student Affairs looks to honor individuals doing the right thing and helping to make the campus community better. Anyone can be nominated for a Golden Tusk award, especially if the individual is advancing student success, supporting diversity and inclusion, and contributing to the collaborative and innovative campus community.

Recipients of the Golden Tusk award receive a letter recognizing their excellent, students’ first, work. They also receive a Golden Tusk lapel pin emblazoned with a gold Razorback, which symbolizes the spirit of collaboration, hard work, and the value of doing the right thing.
