Students of Distinction Awards Ceremony
The Office of Student Engagement recognizes that RSOs and individual student leaders contribute a great deal to Southern Illinois University. The RSO Awards is our way of formally recognizing you and your organization for your contributions to our campus and community. We have joined forces with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life to host our 2nd annual Students of Distinction Awards. The ceremony will be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, at 6:00 pm in the Student Center Ballrooms. All are encouraged to attend; refreshments will be served.
The application link for the RSO Awards can be found above or by clicking here.
In addition to our RSO awards, we also like to take the time to highlight our graduating seniors. The Office of Student Engagement is accepting nominations for the 5th Annual Outstanding Leadership and Service Awards for Graduating Seniors. The award will recognize the achievements of students who are graduating in May 2025 or December 2025 in their commitment to leadership, service, or improvement of the Southern Illinois University Carbondale campus. If you would like to nominate a graduating senior (and self-nominations are accepted), please fill out the following form prior to the April 16, 2025 deadline.
