Academic Achievement Award

The award is intended to recognize a student who may not have won an award based solely on overall grade-point average (GPA) but who has done a special project or otherwise done outstanding academic work in a particular area. Minimum qualifications include second year standing by the spring semester of the year in which the award is presented and a 3.50 or higher cumulative GPA .

This University-wide award is presented annually to a full-time undergraduate student from each campus who has completed at least two years of study and has, over this period of time, consistently demonstrated outstanding qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. The student should have positively influenced fellow students and have contributed to the prestige and well-being of the campus and University. The recipient receives an engraved medallion, certificate, and has their name engraved on a plaque displayed on campus. This award is widely recognized as the most prestigious student award of the campus awards program.
