Star Award for Service Excellence
Each year, OCU bestows Star Awards on deserving faculty and staff members. In 2025, OCU Law’s Kelly Monroe was the recipient of the Star Award for Service Excellence!

It is given to a staff member who contributes to team effectiveness by providing encouragement and support, helping others overcome obstacles, and successfully accomplish goals; is an honest and dependable team player who contributes to group collaboration and consensual decision–making and shows empathy and respect for others, and who builds and maintains good working relationships.
