The Student Center Leadership Development Program is proud to recognize individual students and student organizations for their hard work, spirit and dedication. The annual Student Center Celebration of Leadership & Involvement provides an opportunity for the campus to come together to recognize outstanding leadership.

Every February, nominations are accepted for the many individuals deserving recognition. A small committee is created to review the nominations and select one or more individuals or organizations to receive the various awards. At the banquet all nominees are recognized for all of their hard work as well as those chosen to receive an award.

Save the Date! This year's Student Center Celebration of Leadership & Involvement takes place on Friday, April 27th, 2012 at 6:00 P.M. in the Mabel Brown Room.
