Each spring, at our Student Leadership Awards Ceremony, the College recognizes students for their contributions to the community.
Students are honored for their involvement in working with student organizations, student government, community service, campus arts, and more. Students, faculty and staff attend the awards ceremony that culminates with the presentation of the President’s Leadership Award.
Awards are presented by students and members of the faculty and staff.
