University of  New  York  students  who  have  best  demonstrated  their
integration  of  academic  excellence with other aspects of their lives,
which may include  leadership,  campus  involvement,  athletics,  career

on 64 campuses, with more than three million alumni  around  the  globe;
and

  WHEREAS,  Each  campus  establishes  a  selection  committee,  which
reviews exemplary members of its college community who  are  graduating;

to a second round of review;  finalists  are  then  recommended  to  the
Chancellor  to  become  recipients of the Chancellor's Award for Student
