The Office of Leadership and Engagement (OLE) and the Student Life Office have an annual awards program to recognize the outstanding achievements of individual students, registered student organizations, and EIU Faculty/Staff advisor of the year. Depending on the award, students can self-apply or be nominated. Previous PLA winners are not eligible to win the same award for consecutive years in a row.
The Panther Leadership Awards will be announced in April each year. We will invite all nominees, the EIU community including student groups, faculty, administration, local community members, and parents to celebrate these accomplishments. Keep an eye on our social media as we recognize our winners!
Application process: All awards may either be nominated or self-nominated. The application deadline is March 3, 2025.
