Miami honors employees for accomplishments, leadership during pandemic
This week, Miami University honored 61 university employees with the Prodesse Quam Conspici Medal for their selfless leadership throughout the COVID-19 global pandemic. The award is named for Miami’s motto “prodesse quam conspici,” which is written on its seal and means “to accomplish without being conspicuous.”
“This medal stands for servant leadership with great humility,” said Miami Ambassador Renate Crawford. “The Miamians whom we are honoring today demonstrate dedication, service and commitment, and exemplify prodesse quam conspici.”
During the ceremony, Miami President Gregory Crawford recognized recipients individually, bringing them to the stage and awarding them a medallion and certificate.
“Those whom we honor today have demonstrated selfless leadership and exceptional courage,” President Crawford said. “They put others’ well being first to serve and support the Miami community. They approach each day with grit, compassion and kindness.”
Recipients were nominated by deans and members of the President’s Executive Cabinet. The Prodesse Quam Conspici winners are:
