Student Leadership Award

About the Award

Since 1972, the University of Illinois Alumni Association has had the privilege of honoring exceptional graduating students for their impact as leaders of the various societies, groups and organizations at UIC. Candidates for the Student Leadership Award are nominated by faculty members, advisers, mentors, administrative staff and other UIC students. No more than 40 recipients are selected every year by the UIC Campus Alumni Advisory Board.

Eligible nominees are associated with a leadership role within one or several UIC student organizations, volunteer services or campus departments where a profound impact was made due to the student’s leadership efforts. (Paid positions are eligible.) Nominees must also be in good academic standing (3.0-4.0 GPA) and receive their undergraduate, graduate or professional degree in the spring (May 2011), summer (August 2011) or fall (December 2010). Self-nominations are also accepted.

The deadline for Student Leadership Award nominations is Jan. 14, 2011
Nominations for the 40 student recipients and their nominators will occur the week of Feb. 7, 2011

Students will be honored at the 2011 UIAA Leadership Awards Ceremony and Brunch on April 10, 2011, at Student Center East
