The Donnelly award is given to one female and one male undergraduate student completing their studies this winter semester. This award recognizes students for overall excellence in leadership, scholarship, and service to the university and community. The award is not a cash award, but the winners receive a very nice recognition gift and are recognized at the Campus Life Leadership Awards in April. All students are encouraged to apply. Students must provide a letter of recommendation from a Wayne State student, faculty, or staff member.
Faculty, staff, and students can also recommend a student they believe would be an excellent candidate. We will then contact the student informing them they were recommended for the award and we will send them the application materials. This recommendation will serve as the letter of recommendation.
The deadline for all materials (application and recommendation) is Monday, March 15, 4:00 p.m. For more information, including application and recommendation materials, go to:
