Four student leaders, four student organizations, and two student-led events were recognized Tuesday, May 4 at the annual Paul Magnuson Student Leadership and Service Awards Program at Gustavus Adolphus College.
Established in 1991 and annually supported by the Hon. Paul Magnuson ‘59, chief judge of the U.S. Federal District Court in St. Paul and former trustee of the College, the awards recognize the significant contributions that individual students and student groups make to campus life.
Each year, outstanding students, organizations, and events are nominated by fellow students, faculty, administrators, or staff for recognition. A selection committee assembled by the Dean of Students reviews nominations and determines honorees in the three categories.
Students recognized this year included Ashley Gerwerth, Phillip Helt, Rebekah Schulz, and Abdulkadir Suleyman. Organizations recognized this year included the Asian Cultures Club, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, the Womyn’s Awareness Center, and the women’s rugby team. Student-led events recognized this year included the Building Bridges Conference and the accompanying performance by I Am We Are, and Workshop: Africa.
