Student Leadership Awards
The Student Leadership Awards recognize students who have consistently made significant contributions to student organizations and student life within BBS and UT Dallas. Student nominations are invited from faculty, staff and students; a committee of faculty and staff then select the awardees from this group of nominees based on students’ involvement in campus and state/national professional organizations and UTD student leader programs.
