Student Senate Excellence Award Winners

On April 17, the Office of Student Affairs and Student Senate celebrated the phenomenal work done by our student organizations and student leaders for the 2024-2025 academic year. The Student Senate Excellence Awards honor those students and student organizations who made a difference this year. 

Carl Johnson, assistant vice chancellor of student affairs said, “The Student Senate Awards are a chance for the campus community to come together outside of individual schools, colleges or programs and hear the stories of the people who make this place exceptional.” He added, “It’s a great night to celebrate our students and build our campus community. We are what we celebrate.”
