Residence Awards

You’re invited to nominate yourself or another resident who truly embodies what it means to live, lead, and give back to your community. Whether it’s organizing events, volunteering their time, or going the extra mile to support others, these residents help create the welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment that makes Residence such a great place to live.

Every act of involvement, big or small, helps shape the Residence experience and makes our community stronger. Each nomination is thoughtfully reviewed by our Residence team, with final selections based on a holistic look at each resident’s involvement, leadership, and positive impact within our community.

Award recipients will receive up to $100 - $900 in recognition of their outstanding leadership and contributions to residence life.

Applications open Feb. 3, 2026, and close Mar. 10, 2026, at 11:59 p.m.

Fill out the nomination form below and help us celebrate the residents who make a difference every day.

Living in Residence gave me so many opportunities to get involved and give back. It feels amazing to be recognized for something I genuinely love doing!
