Leadership Honors

Leadership Honors are awarded to individuals upon graduation in order to recognize and honor their leadership contributions to the University of Alaska Anchorage while maintaining academic excellence. Leadership activities must enhance the educational mission of UAA, but more importantly, offer other students the opportunity to grow and excel. Involvement must promote individual and collective growth, thereby enhancing student life at UAA. Recipients of UAA Leadership Honors are commemorated at the spring Commencement ceremony and bestowed crimson honor cords.
