In nominating Vohra for the award, Richard J. Daley College Dean of Student Services Thelma Barnes, praised him as an active and engaged member of the industrial advisory board who has served as the college's ambassador and been instrumental in enabling students to pursue opportunities in higher education at NIU.

"His valuable representation on our Manufacturing Technology Advisory Board and relentless efforts to provide technical support to enhance the effectiveness of our educational and training programs are very much appreciated," Barnes said.

"I am very proud to have been selected for this award," Vohra said. "We have always had a strong partnership with the City Colleges of Chicago, and I hope that this will help lay the foundation to strengthen that partnership and expand our involvement in the Chicago community."
