Congratulations on your nomination for a King's Crown Leadership Excellence Award! A fellow Columbia College senior has nominated you for an award, which automatically qualifies you for one of three prestigious Columbia College Class Day Awards, which are given out annually:
Alumni Prize. Awarded by the Columbia College Alumni Association to the senior judged by classmates to be the most faithful and deserving.
Charles M. Rolker Prize. Awarded to the member of the graduating class who is judged by classmates to be most worthy of special distinction because of scholarship, participation in student activities, or any combination thereof.
Edward S. Brainard Prize. Awarded to the member of the graduating class who is judged by classmates to be the most worthy of distinction for qualities of mind and character.
Recipients are deemed to merit special recognition because of their outstanding character, participation in student activities and/or exemplary leadership style.
Consideration for these prizes is contingent upon your submission of an application by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, February 17, 2014. Applications are submitted by uploading the two requested documents below. Your application should include:
- Resume: A one-page resume that outlines your academic, co-curricular, athletic and/or professional accomplishments.
- Personal Statement: A one-page statement that highlights your eligibility for these awards. The purpose of this statement is to describe your impact as a member of the Columbia community and how you personify the prize descriptions.
Please note that your application is an overarching application for all three prizes. If you are selected as a finalist for one of these awards, you will be asked to submit a 3-4 sentence statement that highlights your qualifications, for inclusion on the final ballot, which will be voted on by the Columbia College Class of 2014.
Congratulations again on being nominated! We hope you will choose to participate in this process. If you have any questions at all, please email us at leadershipawards@columbia.edu.
