The Distinguished Leaders award bestows on a small number of graduating seniors based on evidence of exemplary leadership demonstrating an awareness to the University’s mission. And Presidential Medalists must embody some combination of: excellence in academic achievement, service to the community, contribution to the arts, enlargement of the community’s global perspective, athletic fitness and achievement, leadership ability and contribution to community discourse.
