Leadership and Service Awards
The Leadership and Service Awards are held each spring to recognize outstanding students, student organizations, faculty, staff and local professionals who set an positive example of leadership or community service.
Honoring those who give.
Each year, we honor our outstanding faculty and student leaders along with community
partners during a series of different annual recognition events. These special events,
which honor their achievements, are free and open to the public. The awards and honors
recognize leadership and outstanding efforts in the workplace, in student organizations
and more.
