The awards are selected by a committee of students, faculty and staff. The committee reviews applications based on the impact of programming for the campus and community, contribution to growth and the development of the students.
“This allows the Department of Campus Involvement to really understand and recognize the great work the students are doing and share that information with the rest of campus,” Bosacki said.
Award recipients will attend the annual Excellence and Leadership Awards Banquet at 5:30 p.m. April 26 in the Atwood Memorial Center Ballroom.
