Leadership & Greek Awards
We hope that you'll join us this year as we announce this year's recipients at the annual Leadership and Greek Life Awards Reception on Friday, May 4, 2012 from noon to 2pm on Branca Patio in the JSC.
Each year the Office of Student Life plays host to a celebration of the accomplishments of individual students, student organizations and their advisors. The honorees are selected by a committee of individuals from across campus in a wide range of categories. The Dean of Students selects the Dean's Leadership Awards recipients. We are also proud to assist in the selection and announcement of the recipients of the Charles W. List (1908) Award, the Cynthia Cox (1972) Memorial Award, and the Daniel Stewart Hammack (1935) Memorial Award. You can find out more about these endowed awards on their respective web page.
