Service Recognition Ceremony
Congratulations to this year's award winners! Check back here in spring 2020 for updates about next year's ceremony.
The Service Recognition Ceremony is an annual event held each spring that recognizes students, staff, and faculty that have provided exemplary community service during their time at UCSC. We award individual students, student organizations, Greek organizations, and faculty or staff based on a self or community member nomination made below. Letters of recommendation and additional materials are optional and can be sent to or dropped off at the Student Volunteer Center at Hahn Student Services #245. Below you’ll find descriptions of the categories and information on how to nominate/apply for an award.
This year's Service Recognition Ceremony was held on May 31st in the newly renovated Quarry Amphitheatre. Nominations were due on May 3rd, 2019.
