Chancellor Carine Feyten won silver in the CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education)  2023 Circle of Excellence Awards for her op-ed on the college enrollment gap between women and men.

The awards, the premier accolades for educational advancement, recognize colleges, universities, and schools whose staff advanced their institutions with ingenuity and resourcefulness.

The chancellor’s silver award came in the Writing – Column or Opinion Piece category. Her op-ed, “The Boys are Doing Just Fine,” originally was published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Judges wrote that the piece “tackles a real-life imbalance that often feels overlooked by society,” and the chancellor, “through her lived experience, and strong data, … does an excellent job of showing the reader rather than telling them.”

This year, teams from 583 institutions in nearly 22 countries submitted a total of 4,021 entries. The awards’ 96 categories span publications, marketing, leadership, and more. Visit case.org for more information about CASE.
