Star Leaders, Star Organizations, and Star Professionals – FAQ's

What are Star Leaders, Star Organizations, and Star Professionals?
The Office of Student Leadership Development & Traditions (SLDT) honors a student leader, a student organization, and a Drexel professional each term for their contributions to the Drexel community. SLDT recognizes that their example should be highlighted. Beginning with the 2012-13 academic year, Star Awards are granted each term. Previously, these awards were issued on a monthly basis. To increase the prestige of the award and to allow for more time for nomination submissions, SLDT changed these awards to a term-by-term achievement rather than a monthly honor.

What do I/we get for becoming a Star Leader, Star Organization, or Star Professional?
All award recipients will receive a personalized recognition letter from the Office of Campus Activities and will have their name engraved on a plaque to be displayed in the Creese Student Center. In addition, each award recipient will appear in an advertisement in an edition of the DrexelNow e-newsletter recognizing their achievement and will be awarded with a certificate in their honor.

How are decisions made and can I/we apply to be a Star Leader, Star Organization, or Star Professional?
The SLDT staff makes decisions based on recommendations from a variety of Drexel administrators and submissions from student organizations. Students and staff may complete and submit the Star Leader/Organization/Professional forms to SLDT by the end of Exam Week each term for consideration for that term's award (Example: Deadline of December 14, 2012 for nomination submissions for the Fall 2012 Term Star Awards).

How can students and staff submit nominations for Star Leaders, Star Organizations, and Star Professionals?
