Dean's Leadership & Excellence Awards

In collaboration with the Office of the Dean of Students and University Housing Services, the Dean’s Leadership & Excellence Awards highlight the impact of leadership, service, and achievement within the campus community.

Each partner presents a unique set of awards to students, faculty, and staff. Student Organizations & Leadership presents the SO&L Awards which include Student Leader of the Year, Faculty/Staff Advisor of the Year, and Organization of the Year. Additionally, students from the Sport Clubs program receive recognition for their accomplishments within their clubs. The Office of the Dean of Students honors recipients of The Dean’s Award, given annually to undergraduate students graduating with honors from each college, while University Housing Services presents awards recognizing the achievements of residence hall students.

The reception features musical entertainment, light hors d’oeuvres, and refreshments as award nominees and recipients are celebrated for their contributions to campus life.
