In an effort to recognize and promote the contribution that Aurora College students make in the areas of leadership and community, the Aurora College Board of Governors annually presents an award to one student at each Aurora College campus. Recipients are decided by members of the Student Association at each Aurora College campus, and are presented with the award by a board member at the respective campus convocation exercise. Applicants are assessed on their impact upon students, the College and the community; their demonstration of excellence and innovation; their creativity in meeting challenges; and their success and sustainability. Any student or staff member may make nominations to the campus manager or director. Applications must include a completed and signed nomination form; a brief 1-2 page written background information document outlining the leadership and community service contribution, the innovation and creativity used to meet the challenges, and the level of success; two letters of support from parties served; and/or any other documentation deemed relevant.
