Melissa Baron, director of Westminster College’s student health care facility, has earned the American College Health Association’s (ACHA) Ollie B. Moten Award.
The award, established in 1992, honors ACHA members who have made a significant impact on the institution of higher education in which they work, regardless of whether the individuals have been active beyond their institutions.
“For many of us the year 2020 will be forever remembered as one of the most challenging in our careers and your exemplary work to support students, promote the field of college health, and support the mission of ACHA during this time is deserving of high praise,” said Aaron Daugherty, associate director of administration at Habif Health and Wellness Center and member of the ACHA Awards Advisory Committee, in a communication to Baron.
