The Provost’s Awards recognize individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership and service to the WSU Pullman and surrounding community, as well as those who support leadership development in WSU Pullman students.
Award categories include undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, community organizations, and registered student organizations. Nominees for the WSU Provost’s Awards for Leadership are reviewed within the framework of the Social Change Model of Leadership Development. In this model, leadership is viewed as a process rather than a position. The values of equity, social justice, self-knowledge, personal empowerment, collaboration, citizenship, and service are explicitly promoted.
Beginning in 1996 as the “President’s Award for Leadership,” these awards honor students and others who represent the top leaders at WSU. The President’s Award for Leadership remains an honor bestowed on the top leader at each WSU campus. Awardees are recognized at a ceremony held in April.
