Robert J. Cardoza Excellence Award
The Robert J. Cardoza Excellence Award is given each January at Institute Day to a faculty or staff member, OR campus programs demonstrating excellence in teaching and/or service and specifically displaying considerable impact on Student Learning & Success.
In addition to the countless other organizations which he supported, Bob Cardoza was proud MJC alumnus and later an elected member of the YCCD Board of Trustees for 20 years. We lost Bob Cardoza in 2002.
Bob lived his life committed to his family and his community. His impact was far reaching. To honor his memory and commitment to MJC, the Cardoza family, along with a family friend, established the Robert J. Cardoza Memorial Scholarship to directly benefit students and the Robert J. Cardoza Excellence Award to recognize excellence in teaching and service. Bob’s legacy of impact continues today through the Cardoza Family’s generosity. In addition to the recognition of receiving this award, this year, a monetary gift of $1,500.00 ($500 for each unit) is included to be used to fund approved departmental or campus-wide projects of the awardees’ choosing.
The winners of the Robert J. Cardoza Excellence Award for 2020 are YCCD/MJC Public Safety, YCCD/MJC Facility Operations and YCCD/MJC Information Technology.
