2020 Student Life Awards

April 20, 2020

Studying abroad is a rewarding experience. During the process, you’ll be challenged and there may be times when you falter and are knocked down. All of these experiences will ultimately strengthen your character and afford you the skills you need to be a better, more effective leader. This leadership is clearly demonstrated in the five study abroad alumni who will be celebrated in the 2020 University Student Life Awards.

These annual awards recognize those undergraduate students whose leadership has positively impacted the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é and/or surrounding community. This year, eighteen individuals and three groups will be honored at the College’s annual Student Life Awards. 

The awards, also known as “the Rocky’s,” are divided into Individual Leadership Awards and Student Organization and Programming Awards. Students are nominated by faculty, staff, and peers, with about 250 students and groups being for this years awards. 

The Center for Education Abroad would like to acknowledge and congratulate all of our Education Abroad alumni who will be celebrated as the 2019-2020 award winners.
