Over the past 22 years, Corban University has been awarded the NAIA's
Champions of Character Five-Star Institution award on 23 occasions. Since the inception of the institutional award in 2002-03, the accolade has recognized universities based on their commitment to the NAIA
Champions of Character program that focuses on five key areas: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership.
In 2002, then Western Baptist earned the school's first
Champions of Character award, and the now Corban University holds true to that commitment with an 18-year streak currently in effect through the 2025-26 school year.
