An A-Plus for Student Leaders!

Who will take home this year’s Student Program Annual Awards?           

Last year, University of Evansville (UE) education student Hannah Sitzman dazzled her professors—“an outstanding student whose commitment to her profession is exemplary,” one said—with her academic and leadership skills. As president of the Indiana Student Education Association and its UE chapter, she was recommended “warmly, highly, and enthusiastically” for the NEA Student Program Annual Awards.

But who will this year’s Hannah Sitzman be?

Which emerging leader will take home the Outstanding Local Student Leader Award this year? Surely you know another student equally as talented, motivating and motivated, and deserving of NEA’s highest honors?

Now is the time to answer those questions—as well as consider which student programs and newsletters deserve recognition. For information about the application and award requirements, check out NEA's Student Program website.

The NEA Student Program Annual Awards honor an outstanding local advisor, state organizer, local student leader, and state student leader, as well as an outstanding class project. Awards also are given to excellent local and state programs, local and state newsletters, and a local Web site. In addition, recognition is given to new local chapters. This year, the awards will be announced at the annual meeting in June in Orlando.
