Introduction

The Service Recognition Ceremony is an annual event held each spring that recognizes students, staff, and faculty that have provided exemplary community service during their time at UCSC. We award individual students, student organizations, Greek organizations, and faculty or staff based on an application and letters of recommendation and/or a community member nomination. Below you’ll find descriptions of the categories and information on how to nominate/apply for an award.

Who is eligible

All nominated students, student organizations, Greek organizations, staff, and faculty are potentially eligible to receive a Service Recognition Award. Individuals may nominate themselves or nominate someone else for the following awards depending on how much time the nominee has dedicated to their service work:

• Silver Service Award: 1-2 quarters of service
• Gold Service Award: 3-7 quarters of service
• Platinum Service Award: 8-15 quarters of service
• Greek Organization Award: Exemplary service throughout the 2011-2012 academic year 
• Faculty/Staff Award: Exemplary service and mentorship during the 2011-2012 academic year 

Note: Nominations for all awards are limited to service from Summer 2010 to the present quarter (except Gold and Platinum, which must include at least one quarter of service during the 2011-2012 academic year).
