Student Community Action Award

This award is given each year to Occidental College graduating seniors and alums who, by action and leadership, have contributed to a more just, livable, and democratic region through research, education, community partnerships, organizing, policy analysis and/or advocacy.

We will accept nominations for the 2013 Student Community Action Award in March and announce the recipients at the awards ceremony in May.

We are proud to present the past award recipients who demonstrated their strong commitment to public affairs and worked tirelessly at social justice issues.
