OUTSTANDING STUDENT LEADER AWARD

John Carroll University is filled with many students who have devoted themselves to serving the university through involvement and embodying the characteristics and qualities of a leader. The Outstanding Student Leader Award is designed to recognize graduating seniors who, through their dedicated leadership and involvement, have made significant contributions to changing the campus culture in a positive way during their time here at JCU. These leaders have consistently and unselfishly given of themselves in efforts to enhance the spirit and community of John Carroll and improve our university as an institution altogether.
