The President’s Awards are given to those who have excelled in extracurricular activities of a kind that make UCD an exciting, interesting, dynamic, and humane place to live, study and work, and recipients of the President’s Awards are nominated by their peers. Winners are, typically, actively engaged in service to UCD societies, clubs, or the Students’ Union, or are involved in student support services or competitive activity in inter-varsity events.
The objective of the Awards is to give recognition to the efforts of students in areas of University life other than the academic, particularly where those efforts provide the leadership, commitment and energy which help to turn UCD into a lively, engaged university community. To date, over 350 students have received the UCD President’s Award – which are annually awarded during a ceremony held in O’Reilly Hall every March.
