Each Spring, the University and the College honor a select number of student leaders for their contributions to the campus community. Decisions will be based in part on the extent to which the student's contribution exceeds what is normally expected of an active participant.
Students can be honored for their contributions to any part of campus life, including: work with student organizations, intercollegiate athletics, house governments, orientation programs, community service, campus arts organizations, graduate activities, the Prospective Students Admissions Committee, etc. The Student Leader Awards Committee will accept nominations from students, staff, and faculty, including self-nominations, unless otherwise stipulated in the award description.
Nominations open Tuesday, January 14, 2025 12:00 AM
Once a student is nominated, if they meet the requirements for nomination, they will be contacted by Center for Leadership and Involvement no later than Thursday, February 20th and be asked to submit supporting materials by Sunday, March 23, 2025 11:59 PM.
The Student Leader Awards Selection Committee, made up of a wide variety of campus administrators, will select the award recipients. Winners will be announced by Friday, April 18th.
If you have any questions about nominations or the processes involved with the awards, please email Center for Leadership and Involvement.
As a general note, please be aware that upon successful submission of materials (nominations, letters of support, or student supporting materials) you will receive a confirmation email from Center for Leadership and Involvement. This email is sent to your UChicago email account. If you do not receive this email, please attempt your submission again or contact Center for Leadership and Involvement.
