UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS:

RE:  Leadership Recognition for Outstanding Seniors

In 1977, the campus instituted the Leadership Recognition Program for Outstanding Graduating 
Seniors to acknowledge their contributions to the University and its quality of student life, 
and to encourage their continued interest in the Davis campus.  This recognition consists of 
a reception that I co-host with the Cal Aggie Alumni Association (CAAA), and the presentation 
of a small memento.  This occasion also provides University administrators, faculty, and 
staff with an opportunity to express appreciation for our students' valuable contributions 
to the campus and the Davis community during their undergraduate tenure.

I write to ask your assistance in identifying undergraduate students appropriate for this 
recognition, according to one or more of the following criteria:
 
1. Demonstrated outstanding leadership through participation in campus activities 
2. Significant contributions to the quality of campus life through participation in 
   campus administrative/academic activities 
3. Community activities
 
Please include the full name and student identification number (if available) of all 
graduating seniors you feel meet these criteria on the nomination form. All identified 
students will have their status checked for confirmation of their senior (graduating) status.

The form is available online at http://senior-recognition.ucdavis.edu.

IMPORTANT!  YOUR NOMINATED STUDENT(S) WILL BE RECOGNIZED ONLY IF YOU SHARE WITH THE STUDENT 
THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE SUBMITTED HIS/HER NAME FOR THIS RECOGNITION, AND WHY YOU HAVE DONE SO. 
Your assistance in doing so provides meaningful feedback to our students and makes these 
awards all the more significant to them.

Let me also emphasize that your nominations for this recognition must be received by the 
Office of the Vice Chancellor-Student Affairs, 476 Mrak Hall, no later than March 9, 2007.

Thank you for your assistance.  Please call Student Affairs(530-752-2416) if you have any 
questions regarding this request.

Larry N. Vanderhoef
Chancellor
