We are pleased to invite nominations for this year’s Dolphin Awards.
The deadline for submission is Tuesday, Mar. 31, 2026, at 5:00pm.
The Dolphin Award, instituted in 1980, is given by the President to select faculty, staff, and students in recognition of their contribution and achievements. The awards are bestowed annually and formally presented on the day of the College’s Commencement.
For all Dolphin Awards, the committee will consider length of service, a sustained contribution over many years, or an exceptional recent contribution.
A detailed statement of the achievements of the candidate should support the nominations. Nominators must provide a written statement (see online form) outlining the primary contributions and provide supporting documentation that is relevant to the nomination category.
Please see the list of Dolphin Award categories and additional information online.
In all cases, any records related to personnel information (i.e., salary information or an official review by the candidate’s supervisor) should not be included in the nomination package.

Please email your nomination materials to the attention of DolphinAward@csi.cuny.edu (email) by Mar. 31, 2026, at 5:00pm. If you have any questions, please contact DolphinAward@csi.cuny.edu.
