Criteria to be considered, but not inclusive of all areas considered, include: excellence in scholarship, superior leadership, significant or lasting contributions, commitment to a mission for community service, embrace of human diversity and difference, and involvement in campus life. A nominee need not demonstrate superior performance in ALL of the aforementioned categories to merit application submission.
