The Cesar E. Chavez Legacy and Educational Foundation (CECLEF) will honor OLLU President Abel A. Chávez, MBA, PhD, with the “Soaring Àguila for Leadership Award” at the Àguila Awards gala on March 23.
CECLEF is recognizing Dr. Chávez for his leadership and accomplishments as president since his arrival in 2022. CECLEF cited his efforts with OLLU staff to secure more than $31 million in donations and grants as well as raising the university’s profile through more than 300 visits with local, state and national leaders.
“It is an honor to receive this award from the Cesar E. Chavez Legacy and Educational Foundation,” Dr. Chávez said. “This award would not be possible without the support and hard work of our tremendous faculty and staff at OLLU.”
