Residence Leadership & Engagement Awards
Each year, Residence Life strives to create an inclusive, engaged and diverse residence community through our programming initiatives. The RLEAs recognize and reward Residence students who actively build our community. Students must participate in at least one of each of the ‘Basic 6’ ways to get involved in residence in order to be eligible. The more you participate, and the more leadership positions you take on, the higher your chances are of receiving an award.
Residence Leadership & Engagement Award Overview

Awards recognizing and rewarding students for their contributions to our Residence community.
How do we define contribution?
Attend events to show your support, volunteer to help the community, or take on a leadership role by helping to plan a program. All residence students are eligible. Award winner will receive one $1,000 award. Other awards include eight $500 awards.
Start working on the award early by attending Residence programming on a weekly basis! Check Res Top 5, ask your RA's, look for posters, or stop by the Residence Life Office to ask about upcoming programming. We offer a variety of programming every week.
We encourage you all to attend residence events to contribute to our residence community and open your gateway towards the Residence Leadership & Engagement Awards!
It is very important that you track your own engagements and make sure to sign in at the programs you attend to make sure all your engagements are counted. You must attend at least one of each of the Basic 6, but the more you engage the higher your chances are of receiving an award!
