Crispo’s award recognized her service achievements and potential in the field. It comes with a scholarship of $1,000 used for the CX3 conference registration fee, travel and accommodation. After seven years in the industry, Crispo is thankful for the award and excited about the future. 

“My involvement with NACAS has begun only recently, and I am following the footsteps of some great leaders here at TU,” she says. “It’s inspiring to be recognized for work for which I have passion and truly enjoy.” 

The National Association of College Auxiliary Services (NACAS) started in 1969 as an association for the non-academic business side of higher education through multiple outlets of campus services developed for student needs. This includes services such as school stores, housing, food service, and transportation.
