Distinguished Student Award

About the Award

Each year, the University of Southern Indiana selects students from the sophomore and transfer class to recognize for their noteworthy accomplishments during their first year at USI. These accomplishments could be in the areas of academics, leadership, service, ethics, personal growth, notable selflessness, or innovation/creativity. These accomplishments have positively impacted USI, and we hope that they have been personally rewarding for the student!

The 2025 Distinguished Students will be announced at the end of this year's Convocation.
