Emerging Leader Award
  

The Emerging Leader Award recognizes a graduating student who has had an impact on the University, the community, and/or a student organization by demonstrating outstanding leadership through dedication to community service, promotion of diversity, responsible citizenship, and academic excellence. Recipients are actively engaged in at least one recognized student group, organization, or campus-wide committee, and they have clearly demonstrated creativity, initiative, and a genuine interest in continuing their involvement in outstanding leadership and service to the University community after graduating.
