MA Awards
The Department of Multicultural Affairs is accepting nominations and applications for the annual Excellence in Student Leadership Awards Ceremony every Spring Semester.
The purpose of MA Awards is to create more opportunities to recognize the outstanding work and dedication of our student leaders, their organizations, and their advisors who provide appropriate support and guidance. The 2024-25 awards application will open soon!
Individual Awards
These awards are recognized through a nomination process (someone other than the nominee will submit the form). All forms can be found below and on Baylor Connect. Please read the instructions carefully before nominating or applying.
Behind the Scenes Leader
This award presented to an individual who in some unique and significant way contributed to his/her organization or the Baylor University community as a whole. It is broad in its reach and by design meant to recognize those not usually recognized through traditional awards criteria. The nominee must have contributed behind the scenes with their skill, time, and effort towards furthering the vision, mission and strategy of the Department of Multicultural Affairs through their service to the University or their chosen organization.
