Nominations open for Student Leadership Award

The U of I Alumni Association is accepting nominations for the annual Student Leadership Award, which honors exceptional graduating students for their volunteer contributions as leaders of student societies, groups, and organizations at UIS.

Undergraduate, graduate, or professional students who received their degrees in summer or fall 2007, or who will graduate in May 2008 are eligible for the award.

Nominees should have demonstrated exceptional leadership through involvement in campus and/or student organizations. "Leadership" may have been demonstrated through service as an officer or chair, or through loyalty and commitment by someone whose actions inspired others. It could have spanned an entire academic career or it could be more limited in scope.

The deadline to submit nominations is Wednesday, January 16.

The program is sponsored by the UIS Campus Alumni Advisory Board. Awards will be presented at a ceremony late in the spring semester.

To make a nomination or for more information, contact Mary Caroline Mitchell, associate director of alumni relations at UIS, by phone at 6-7395 or by e-mail at mmitc1@uis.edu.
