Highlighting student achievement is important to the Dean’s office and it helps us all celebrate the UW Madison community as we work towards creating the Wisconsin Experience together.
Exceptional Citizenship Award
This award is given to students who decide to act with courage and moral character in challenging circumstances.
The Dean of Students Office recognizes students’ contribution to making the University campus a safer community through the Exceptional Citizenship Award. Previous award recipients have intervened in incidents to prevent harm to others, reacted quickly to an emergency situation, and chosen to act with integrity instead of for personal gain.
Do you know an Exceptional Citizen that you would like to honor?
If you know of a student who has acted as a true Badger with exceptional citizenship, the Dean of Students Office wants to know! Please email us at doso@studentaffairs.wisc.edu and include “Citizenship Award” in the subject line. Include your full name, the student’s name, details about the incident, and your contact information in the email. While not all students may be awarded Citizenship Award, we will try to recognize each student that we hear about.
