The Chancellor's Awards for Leadership

The newly created Chancellor's Awards recognize individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership and service to the WSU Pullman and surrounding community, as well as those who support leadership development in WSU Pullman students. Beginning in 1996 as the "President's Award for Leadership," these awards are an honor bestowed annually to students and others representing the top leaders at WSU. The President's Award for Leadership remains as an honor bestowed to the top leader at each WSU campus. View the Award Criteria and Categories for more information.
