Hello, Honors Community,
The Honors Programming and Events office is excited to solicit nominations for Honors Student Leadership Awards. We seek nominees for two awards:
Honors Student Leader of the Year: https://quest.uconn.edu/prog/honors_student_leader/
Nominees must be affiliated with an Honors organization – though they need not hold a formal or elected position – or an RA in an Honors Learning Community. Nominations from any member of the UConn community are welcome, including self-nominations.
There are five criteria used to select the Honors Student Leader of the Year. In selecting honorees, the committee seeks someone who:
- ...demonstrated reliable, consistent commitment toward their organization meeting its goals for the academic year;
- ...exceeded the standard expectations of their role in their efforts to support the organization;
- ...represented the ideals and mission of the organization, both to fellow organization members and to stakeholders outside the membership;
- ...fostered leadership amongst their organization's members and/or other UConn Honors students;
- ...made positive contributions toward co-creating an inclusive, strong, supportive Honors community.
