Dave Marshall Leadership Award

Congratulations to our 2012 recipients

The Dave Marshall Student Leadership Award recognizes the full-time student who has made an outstanding extra-curricular contribution to their academic program, to the campus, or to the greater community.

Each student nominated has demonstrated leadership, initiative, commitment and an ability to motivate and influence others towards the betterment of Nipissing University.

This award is a prestigious, non-monetary award in recognition of the dedication and leadership Dr. Dave Marshall demonstrated during his 18 years of consecutive service as the Dean of Education and President and Vice Chancellor of Nipissing University.  Dr. Marshall’s tenure at Nipissing University is a reflection of his commitment to higher education, a vision for the future and leadership in external community service. These were all characteristics reflective of Dr. Marshall’s position at Nipissing University and are qualities that are embodied in the students chosen for this award.

Students who are nominated are selected for a Dave Marshall Leadership Award based on three different categories: Academic, Campus and Community:

ACADEMIC NOMINATION

Students may be selected in recognition of their significant contributions as leaders within their area of study.
 
To be nominated in the academic category, a student must have the potential to further pursue their area of study and possibly affect, or be involved with cutting edge work that will result in the advancement of their discipline. Therefore, the student must be engaged in research or some other activity that is exceptional and outside the normal expectations of their program. This research or activity should be able to increase people’s understanding of, or interest in, the discipline. The student may also balance their academic demands with other services to the local or university community.
 
Students are nominated by their faculty.

CAMPUS NOMINATION

To be nominated in the campus category, a student must use their leadership to influence university affairs to create a sense of community on-campus. This student enhances the campus culture by encouraging others to become involved and attempts to improve the quality of life for all students. The student must be actively and meaningfully engaged in a club or student organization, student government, athletics, and/or student support services.
 
Students are nominated by their peers, faculty, administration/support staff and/or alumni.

COMMUNITY NOMINATION

To be nominated in the community category, a student must have made a significant contribution to an external organization or group. As a volunteer, the student used their knowledge gained at university to affect the success of the local organization. Their leadership and participation must provide a demonstrated benefit and show a concern for local issues/residents.
 
Students are nominated by an external organization and/or community group.

Minimum Qualifications

Each student nominated must be a full-time student beyond their first-year who is in good academic standing.

Selection Process

Each person wishing to nominate a student must complete and submit the Dave Marshall Leadership Award Nomination Form in which they are asked to articulate the student’s leadership qualities and initiatives.
 
Upon review of a report compiled by the Student Employment Office that details information from the nomination forms and the students’ academic records, the Senate Appointed Undergraduate Service & Awards Subcommittee will determine and select those students noted for their exceptional leadership.
