Excellence in Student Leadership Awards
Awards Criteria
Leadership award nominations are open to ALL students enrolled in programs on the Agricultural Campus, which includes diploma, undergrad and graduate students within the Faculty of Agriculture, and Truro Start students with both the Faculty of Computer Science and the Faculty of Science. Please review the award descriptions for award specific criteria.
Students who have previously received an award are not eligible to be nominated for that same award in subsequent years.
A student may only receive one leadership award each year, apart from the DASA Outstanding Club and Society Contribution to Campus; students involved in the club or society receiving the above award are eligible for individual awards in the same year.
The Leadership Awards on the Agricultural Campus were reviewed in 2023/24 to ensure that the awards being offered are reflective of the leadership being demonstrated by our student population. This review resulted in the updating of existing awards and the creation of several new awards.
Who can nominate
Anyone can nominate a student for one of the Student Advancement In Leadership Awards and we encourage staff, faculty, students, and community members to submit nominations. You can even nominate yourself if you wanted to. Nominations will open in February. Nominations are accepted for all Dalhousie Agricultural Campus Students regardless of level or year of study provided they meet the specific criteria for each award.
Nominations close on Thursday, February 29th at midnight.
