SOAR Awards
Student Organizations Achievement and Recognition
The SOAR Awards exist to recognize Student Organizations committed to the development of their members and service to the UAF and greater Fairbanks communities. Each SOAR recipient is awarded $100 which is deposited into the organization's account.
SOAR recipients are honored at the End-of-Year Student Organizations Celebration on the Wood Center Terrace. More information will be released in the Spring Semester.
Once the applications are opened please return completed application packets to the LIVE office.
Academic Achievement Award
To recognize the student organization whose membership demonstrates exceptional contributions to the academic environment of UAF.
Community Service Award
To recognize a student organization that provides meaningful and outstanding volunteer service to the UAF and Fairbanks communities. Single projects will not be judged any differently from semester-long or year-long projects or a compilation of a number of projects.
To recognize a student organization that has demonstrated a significant commitment to enhance diversity on campus through efforts to promote a campus climate that respects and appreciates individual and cultural differences. Groups will be evaluated primarily on their educational outreach efforts. Groups can address any of the following elements of diversity: culture, race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, sex, age, and economic status.
To recognize the student organization which has significantly impacted campus life through the successful planning and implementation of a single event or event series. Single one-time events will not be judged any differently from semester-long or year-long event series.
To recognize a group that has established a sustainable and growing legacy through strong organizational leadership in the midst of membership turnover and officer transition.
To recognize the advisor who most successfully assists her/his student organization in reaching its goals and who is fully supportive of the group’s stated purpose and function. Outstanding advisors demonstrate an effort to go above and beyond their stated positions, and through their involvement have become not only advisors but mentors and partners to the group members and are vital to the overall success of the organization.
To recognize a group that was newly founded or re-established after three years of inactivity during the 2010-2011 school year. The student organization should demonstrate substantial progress and success in their first year of establishment.
