Student Organization Awards
 

The Student Organization Awards celebrates the accomplishments of our Registered Campus Organizations (RCOs) for their contributions to campus life at UCSF and beyond. RCO members, leaders, and advisors play a valuable role on campus, and we invite you to take this opportunity to recognize outstanding leadership and achievements by submitting a nomination.

Students, staff, faculty, or advisors may submit nominations (including individuals from the organization they wish to nominate). Nominations may only be submitted for a currently Registered Campus Organization and/or student who is a current officer or member of a currently Registered Campus Organization.  Please consider the following when submitting a nomination: 

  • The involvement, experience, programs and/or initiatives of the student organization that is relevant to the award category.  
  • Achievements described in the nomination must be within current academic year.

Each category will have one winner selected by a committee comprised of students and staff. Winning individual or organization will receive an official certificate, $500 (group awards)/$250 (student award), and will be featured on the Student Life website and social media channels.
