The Citizenship Award for Diversity Leadership is awarded annually to a rising senior enrolled as a full-time student in an undergraduate degree program at UMW. The student must possess characteristics of leadership and a personal commitment to advocating an appreciation for diversity and inclusion on campus.

As the recipient of the Citizenship Award for Diversity Leadership, the student will be asked to serve in various capacities throughout the 2016 – 2017 academic year. The ongoing service agenda will be mutually beneficial. Service will be provided to the campus community and the student will continue to develop academically and socially.
