Shannon Golden

Hamilton, Ohio | Liberal Studies

Shannon’s nominator wrote that she has done wonders to promote civility on Miami’s campuses through her extensive involvement with the Civility Project. She served as the student director of the project, but didn't stop at the edges of campus. Within the Civility Project, Shannon co-founded the Educational Civility Outreach, which opened six chapters in Butler County school districts and in seven area businesses. She has also served on the City of Hamilton Council of Character and the Student Government Association, where she also advocated for civility.

Shannon was also the co-developer of I Combat Hunger program on our Middletown and Hamilton campuses, which provides meal vouchers for students experiencing food insecurity and is the first of its kind on any regional campus in the country. She was asked to consult with the Oxford campus as they created the Buy-Back program, where students with a meal plan can donate a meal for someone in need, also the first of its kind on a large college campus.
