Leadership Banquet

The Student Leadership Banquet recognizes outstanding student leaders, student organizations, faculty/staff advisers, and student program accomplishments each year. The program includes a three-course catered meal, an awards presentation and a dance. We welcome the participation and support of members of the UHCL community.

Award Selection Process

All nominations are confidential. Once submitted, applications that meet the requirements are distributed to the Banquet Award Committee who selects the top three to four nominations (excluding the Peer’s Choice awards, which are determined by the student organizations). Nominees are then contacted and encouraged to attend the Student Leadership Banquet.

A nomination ballot is created, and each active member of the Banquet Awards Committee casts their vote. Votes are tallied, and the recipients are announced at the banquet. Not even the committee members know the recipients until the night of the banquet.

The Banquet Awards Committee consists of representatives from the Student Involvement and Leadership, Student Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Career Services.
