2024 Mignot Award granted to Joseph Bush

The Dean’s Award for Excellence in Adjunct Teaching and the Mignot Award was awarded to Joseph Bush, M.A., for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Bush joined the School of Social Welfare in 2022 as a Professional Writing Consultant. In that role, Bush works with students in all the School’s degree programs to support and strengthen their writing, focusing on growth and improvement. Joe’s goal is always for a student to leave a consultant session feeling more comfortable and confident as a writer, with the knowledge to recognize their own strengths and work on improving any challenges their writing may present them.

The Mignot Award was initiated in 2006 by the officers in the BSW student group. These students felt that beyond the faculty at the School, there were, and continue to be, many talented and dedicated individuals who have a significant impact on their BSW education. The Mignot Award goes to student services professionals who provide guidance and support or doctoral student GTAs and adjunct faculty who routinely teach BSW courses. Each year, BSW students choose the winner through an open nomination and voting process.
