Criteria for selection include evidence of: - Having made the university a better place through their service and contributions by the example they set for others through their character, integrity and spirit of giving
- Embodying the characteristics of servant leadership including listening, empathy, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of others, and building community
- Commitment to working effectively with diverse groups including other health professional students
4. Promoting interprofessional and interpersonal respect and understanding - Significant accomplishments and service to university-wide or interprofessional initiatives
- Potential for future contributions as a leader not only in their own profession, but also in the broader context of health care or biomedical research

A nomination form will be provided with documentation requested that addresses the criteria. A two-page resume/curriculum vita will also be required. A selection committee made up of faculty, staff and administrators who serve at the university level will review nominations.
