The Seawolf Student Leader Award recognizes student leaders who, through their leadership, involvement, and commitment made significant contributions to campus life.  Students are recognized for leadership contributions that go above and beyond the norm, while sustaining quality academic performance.

Actively engaging students in intentionally designed and meaningful student leadership experiences is a fundamental purpose of UAA's Division of Student Development. Student leadership experiences benefit students, the university, and society in many ways. Students engaged in these experiences develop strong leadership skills for life, have a deeper understanding of inter-personal dynamics, and experience more positive personal growth and development. Quality student leadership experiences contribute to UAA's overall learning environment, increase student retention, engage students in university decision-making and policy development; enhance student, faculty, and staff recruitment efforts, and create loyal alumni.

Award recipients receive up to $1,500 in tuition credit for the semester following the semester that award was received. Recipients will also be invited to the annual Leadership Honors and Rewards reception held in April.
