Outstanding Service to First-Year Students
At the end of every academic year, we ask all first-year students to recognize any individual on campus that has made an impact on their first-year. Students can nominate faculty, staff and other students who made a difference during the year. Students recognize the person by name and give a brief description of how that individual made a difference. Every individual who is recognized receives a small token provided by First Year Experience.
We also have a list of past winners.
