Student Leaders Recognized with SOLAR Awards
The Division of Student Affairs would like to thank everyone who attended virtually the 6th Annual Student Organization and Leadership Achievement Recognition ceremony (SOLAR) Wednesday night and all those who nominated and recognized so many amazing student leaders on campus. A special thank you goes to all of the students, staff and faculty present and our student speakers - Jordan Jessamy and Peter Huber.
Sixty nominations were received for the different award categories and approximately 70 people were tuning in to this year's SOLAR ceremony. "Thank you for celebrating all of the amazing leadership on campus and we ask that you continue to celebrate and recognize all of the recipients, nominees, and many other amazing leaders especially during our distant learning days," said Laura Crandall, director of student involvement and leadership.
Congratulations again to all of the award recipients!
