Linda Lulli, Former Vice President of Human Resources at Bryant University, Receives CUPA-HR’s Donald E. Dickason Award
Linda Lulli has received the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR) 2017 Donald E. Dickason Award. CUPA-HR’s highest honor, this award is named for the association’s founder and recognizes an individual for exceptional leadership and service to CUPA-HR. Thanks to the generous support of TIAA, CUPA-HR is pleased to offer a $6,000 contribution to Bryant University’s endowment or a scholarship fund of Lulli’s choice.
Lulli began her service to CUPA-HR in 2007 when she joined the Eastern Region board of directors. She then went on to serve on the national board for several years, culminating in her appointment as chair for the 2014-15 fiscal year. She also served on or chaired several CUPA-HR task forces and committees and played an integral role in the association’s diversity and inclusion initiatives, the Wildfire program for early-career higher ed HR professionals and the Emerging Leaders program.
Lulli has also presented at several chapter, regional and national CUPA-HR conferences, and was awarded Honorary Life Membership in the association earlier this year.
Says University at Buffalo Chief HR Officer Mark Coldren, who served with Lulli on the national board for several years, “Linda’s many accomplishments and her distinguished career have been phenomenal. Her time on the CUPA-HR board of directors has made a profound impact on the association, the higher ed HR profession and the institutions we serve.”
Lulli worked in human resources at Bryant University for nearly 20 years before her retirement in December 2016.
