President's Awards for Leadership: Middle Eath Award

The Middle Earth Award recognizes an exceptional member of the Middle Earth Peer Assistance Program. Middle Earth offers critical peer assistance services to UAlbany students - especially during evenings and on weekends, when other support services are harder to access. Student volunteers are trained by mental health professionals to help their peers address the common concerns many college students face.

The President's Awards for Leadership recognize and reward undergraduate and graduate students, as well as organizations that have made significant contributions to enhance the quality of life at the University at Albany.

Recipients have demonstrated a variety of accomplishments including extraordinary leadership, service, academic achievement and involvement within the University community.
