Awards To Be Given To
270 Students From 62 Campuses
John R. Ryan, Chancellor
of the State University of New York, will honor 270 college students from 62
SUNY campuses with the 2006 Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence, Monday,
April 10. The Awards are given out annually to students who earn a Grade Point
Average (GPA) of 3.78 or higher and record a significant contribution to their
campus or local community.
“Recipients of this
year’s awards have excelled academically and, in many cases, far exceeded even
their own expectations in their pursuit of higher education and community
involvement,” said Chancellor Ryan. “The Chancellor’s Award for Excellence is
given to the best and the brightest students across the SUNY System. I am
pleased to see so many recipients this year from nearly all of our campuses. I
commend the campus presidents and their faculty and staff for discovering and
enhancing student excellence throughout the year.”
The Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence was created to
recognize students who have best demonstrated, and been recognized, for the
integration of academic excellence with accomplishments in the areas of
leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts or
career achievement.
Each year, campus presidents establish a selection
committee, which reviews exemplary members of their college communities who are
graduating. Nominees are then forwarded to the Chancellor’s Office and are
subject to a second round of review. Finalists are then recommended to the
Chancellor to become recipients of the Chancellor’s Award for Student
Excellence.
At Monday’s ceremony, which will be held in Albany, each
recipient will receive a framed certificate and medallion, which is
traditionally worn at commencement.
