Community Leadership and Involvement Award

The Community Leadership and Involvement Award recognizes students who are leaders in the Civil Engineering Community. Students who receive this award must show leadership in and out of the classroom within their peers. Involvement in student run clubs helps demonstrate the students’ leadership and involvement. They take initiative to engage with peers and act as a beacon to other students. These students lead their peers inside and outside of the lecture and bring extra support to groups while working on their own schoolwork. Involvement in technical clubs further demonstrates the students’ engagement outside of the classroom. Participation in educational activities, like the DIALOG bridge competition, also illustrates academic excellence.

The Community Leadership and Involvement Award honors students who exemplify leadership within the Civil Engineering community. Those who receive this distinction showcase leadership qualities both inside and outside the classroom among their peers. Active engagement in non-technical clubs not only underscores their commitment to leadership and involvement but also aligns with the values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within the Civil Engineering community.

Engineering Spirit Award

This award recognizes students who take engineering values outside of the academic realm and into the real world. There are many events and extracurricular activities that happen on and off campus, and these activities offer opportunities for both personal and professional growth to become a well-rounded student. Engineering spirit is encapsulated by the volunteer work and connection in communities outside of the university. Engineering spirit can be shown in the students’ participation in volunteering with associations such as Engineers Without Borders or other associations that embody engineering values. These students are factors in the community within the University as well as outside of the University.
