CSE faculty, students, staff and alumni, along with those from across campus, are eligible to nominate candidates for the most outstanding senior and/or the most outstanding graduate or professional student. In both categories, only students who are graduating this year can be nominated. The annual awards will honor two students who "have earned the admiration of the UC San Diego community for exceptional contributions to university life and who have generously served the university," according to the announcement from the vice chancellor of student affairs Juan González and the dean of the graduate division, Kim Barrett. Nominees must have earned recognition in the UC San Diego community for their outstanding academic and leadership performance, as well as for enhancing the student experience on campus.
The award recipients will each receive $1,000, a special gift from UCSD Alumni, and public recognition at the All-Campus Graduation Celebration on Friday, June 12, 2015. Applications can be downloaded here, and the hard deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, May 1.
