Bovenaan Award

The Bovenaan was officially created in the spring of 1953 by the Student Faculty Affairs Committee.  It aims to honor, by election into it, students whose co-curricular activity has been distinguished by variety and quality.  It purposely makes no distinction within the co-curricular area among athletic, social, fraternal, religious, dramatic, musical, or political, except to see that its elected members are active in more than one of these areas. *This award is by paper application only.

Applications are due to OSLA (260 Student Center) by March 21, 2012 at 5 p.m.
