Leadership Awards

The UW-Platteville Leadership Awards look to recognize excellence amongst our student leaders, organizations, and the faculty/staff that help them to make it all happen. The contributions that that they make to our campus community and our community at large deserve to be celebrated. It is their passion, determination, and hard work that make it a great day to be a Pioneer.

Our Goals are simple

  • To recognize the contributions of our students, organizations, and faculty/staff to our campus and the surrounding community.
  • To encourage our students to become active citizens in their respective communities.
  • To create a strong sense of belonging and connection to the UW-Platteville campus community.
