Please use different examples, honors, accomplishments, or achievements for each category.
A campus selection committee reviews all eligible student nominations, and selects nominees to forward to the SUNY Chancellor's Office for a second round of review. Nominated students with measurable, long-term accomplishments and achievements that affect the greater campus community and/or a large number of students and/or community members will be valued higher than other achievements. Finalists are then recommended to the Chancellor to become recipients of the award.
Each recipient receives a framed certificate and medallion, at the SUNY Chancellor's Award ceremony in April in Albany, NY.
