On 22 April 2019, COTE announced its 2018-2019 COTE award recipients.
The awards fall into three main categories:
COTE Exemplar Awards recognize individuals or groups with significant accomplishments promoting the sustainable use of natural resources or the protection of ecological systems.
Individuals who have a record of continual significant achievements are further recognized by the awarding of a "COTE Exemplar Lifetime Achievement Award".
COTE Green Initiative Awards recognize everyday activities, decisions or contributions that help to move Ball State University (and its near-surround community) toward sustainability. Their purpose is to reward discrete contributions rather than a history of multiple accomplishments.
COTE Service Awards recognize past individual service on or to the BSU Council on the Environment.
