Are you a junior or senior student who has made contributions throughout your time at IC through community service, involvement, and leadership in organizations or paid positions? Are you a faculty or staff member who knows a student who fits these amazing qualities? Then the Peggy Ryan Williams Award through the Office of Student Engagement would be a wonderful acknowledgment of your hard work!!
Peggy Ryan Williams served as president of Ithaca College from 1997 to 2008. She was a strong advocate for academic achievement, co-curricular involvement, and community service. Based on these qualities, this award for academic and community leadership was named in her honor. After her tenure at Ithaca College, Dr. Williams has continued to support student leadership on campus and involvement in the community. She is a role model for life-long service to higher education, as demonstrated by her involvement on the board of the American Association of University Women, and her global work with the Women in Leadership in Higher Education Forum. This award continues to build on Peggy’s legacy through its acknowledgment of incredible student leaders’ academic, community service, and co-curricular involvement!
