Leadership Awards and Recognition
Student Leadership Awards Assembly
Every year during the university-wide celebration known as All Honors Day, student leaders are recognized for their contributions and accomplishments during the student leadership awards assembly. Typically, this ceremony follows the morning academic awards and scholar –athlete awards assemblies. Parents, families, and friends are included in the activities for the day, beginning with the various award ceremonies, continuing to mass, and culminating with a reception and banquet.
The student leadership awards assembly includes numerous awards for student leaders active across campus. The awards recognize students of all ages and experience levels. Award materials are typically due in January, and the awards ceremony takes place in April. See the award materials for specific submission criteria.
The student leadership awards assembly is coordinated by the interim director for Office of Student Involvement. For more information about this program, contact Leah Busam at 513 745-4879 or busamla@xavier.edu or Susan Booth at 513 745-3004 or booths@xavier.edu.
All Honors Day is Saturday, April 18, 2010.
