The annual Excellence in Student Leadership Banquet is scheduled for the evening of Thursday, March 21^st in the Riverview Room, Jenkins Hall. Event invitations will be sent out in the coming weeks.

The Banquet celebrates Dalhousie University Agricultural Campus students for their contributions to the campus and community, their leadership development and both personal and academic achievements.

Leadership award recipients and student who have completed the Foundations of Leadership program, formally Student Advancement in Leadership (SAIL) are all recognized at the banquet.

Nominations for the annual Excellence in Student Leadership Awards opened on February 7^th and will close at midnight on February 28^th.

Anyone wishing to nominate a student for the Faculty of Agriculture Leadership Impact Award should complete the Faculty of Agriculture Leadership Award nomination form listed within the Excellence in Student Leadership Awards, www.dal.ca/ac-leadership-awards.

In addition to many of our traditional awards, there are several new awards for this year. We are excited to have been able to consult with our student population to update our awards to better reflect how students are engaging with leadership opportunities within our community.

Campus community members may also acknowledge student achievements by submitting Kudos. Kudos may be used to recognize a student who may not meet the criteria for any of the official awards but has still achieved a personal, professional, or academic goal!

This is your time to say thanks or acknowledge a recent student accomplishment. Kudo submissions will remain open until March 18^th.

Faculty and staff interested in being involved with the award review committee are asked to contact Gillian Hatch, Student Success and Engagement Advisor, gillian.hatch@dal.ca.

Committee members will be invited to attend the banquet in appreciation for volunteering their time to review nominations.
