Recognition and Awards
Description of activity
Programs that recognize students for demonstrated excellence in academic
and leadership activities may include scholarships, award ceremonies,
and established pharmacy societies such as Rho Chi and Phi Lambda
Sigma.
Rationale
The recognition of excellence by faculty, administrators, practitioners,
and peers serves as a motivating force for achievement. Also, it serves
to recognize those individuals who make a conscientious effort to exceed
expectations.
Areas of professionalism addressed
Excellence and altruism are components of professionalism associated
with recognition and rewards.
Special issues involving
planning/promotion/implementation
Schools and colleges, usually through the use of endowed funds, provide
scholarships to students based on academic merit and financial need.
Specific criteria, often related to academic merit and demonstrated
leadership ability, are defined to assist in determining scholarship
recipients. Likewise, established awards may be created to recognize
leadership and service contributions. Most schools and colleges present
awards on an annual basis, generally in conjunction with a senior
banquet or a graduation ceremony.
Another common example of recognition is a Dean’s List of
Distinguished Students. The list defines a specific population of
students who have demonstrated stellar academic performance for a given
semester.
Students belonging to specific organizations may choose to name peers
for awards based upon criteria established by the organization. In other
situations, students may nominate and select outstanding instructors and
preceptors.
