Student ActivitiesStudent Recognition Awards 2023
Each year, divisions and departments across campus recognize outstanding student efforts (and one staff member) with the Student Recognition Awards. Recipients are either nominated or applied for consideration for these competitive awards.
As in other years, the recipients’ efforts and energy have made significant impacts on campus life. From students who give outstanding job performances or show leadership qualities to the student groups that influence and assist the broader community, the Student Recognition Awards show the depth and breadth of commitment at the university.
