ASB advisors Jill Duehr and John Morrison were also thanked for their dedication to student leadership and for providing expert direction that facilitates student growth.
ASB accepted the award on stage at CASL’s annual state conference, a three-day event offering networking opportunities and workshops for students and advisors alike. The conference was held April 7 to 9 in Ontario, California.
