Highlighting student achievement is important to the office and it helps us all celebrate the UW-Madison community as we work towards creating the Wisconsin Experience together.
Exceptional Citizenship Award
This award is given to students who decide to act with courage and moral character in challenging circumstances.
The Office of Student Assistance and Support recognizes student contributions to making the university campus a safer community through the Exceptional Citizenship Award. Previous award recipients have intervened in incidents to prevent harm to others, reacted quickly to an emergency situation, and chosen to act with integrity instead of for personal gain.
