Each person wishing to nominate a student must complete and submit the UNBC Senate Student Leadership Award Nomination Form. Nominators should articulate students’ leadership qualities and initiatives within the context of one of the categories.

The President acknowledges, in writing, the receipt of each nomination.

The Senate Committee on Honorary Degrees and Other Forms of Special Recognition reviews the information from the nomination forms and the students' academic record to determine and select those students to be recognized for the UNBC Senate Student Leadership Award. Deliberations take place in a closed session of the Committee.

The Committee evaluates the proposed nomination(s) and selects names deemed acceptable in compliance with the category criteria.

Student Recognition

Each selected candidate receives an Award Certificate and a letter of commendation from the University President. Award recipients are profiled on the UNBC website and a historic record of recipients is archived on the UNBC website. Award recipients will also be invited to a reception with the UNBC Senate.
