LEADERSHIP & SERVICE AWARD
The Graduate and Professional Student Government’s Leadership and Service Award seeks to recognize current University of Pittsburgh graduate and professional students for their service or leadership to the University of Pittsburgh, the surrounding community, and to the world at large. By creating this award, GPSG aims to make service by graduate and professional students more visible and valued on campus and to honor those who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and service. Awardees will receive a $250 grant that can be used towards academic expenses.
