SUNY Oneonta Student Leader Receives 2021 Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence

SUNY Oneonta student Arene Daziah Holston is among an elite group chosen to receive the 2021 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.

The Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence is the highest honor that SUNY bestows upon students. It is presented annually to SUNY students who demonstrate academic excellence and integrate it with accomplishments in other areas, such as leadership, career achievement, campus involvement, athletics, community service, or creative and performing arts.

Each year, SUNY campus presidents establish a selection committee, which reviews the accomplishments of exemplary students. Nominees are then forwarded to the Chancellor's Office for a second round of review. Finalists are then recommended to the Chancellor to become recipients of the award.

Since the Chancellor's Award program was implemented, 100 SUNY Oneonta students have received the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.
