There are many students who make a significant impact on student life and the broader community at Mount Sinai. Such students are recognized through the annual Spring Awards Ceremony and were previously recognized through the semesterly Awards of Excellence.
Students that are recognized during the Spring Awards Ceremony or were recognized through the Award of Excellence are often the unsung heroes of our student body—the volunteers, advocates, and champions that have gone the extra mile to help their fellow classmates. They do this because they want to improve the community at this school, one little step at a time—not because they ever expected appreciation or recognition.
We honor these students on a plaque displayed proudly in our Student Lounge in Annenberg. Here is the full list of the quiet superheroes that live among us…
