Matthew Antonio Bosch Student Award Nomination Form

The Matthew Antonio Bosch Student Award honors a student who exemplifies leadership, fearless representation and a commitment to advocacy. Named in honor of Matthew Antonio Bosch, who served as director of Elon’s Gender and LGBTQIA Center from 2013–2019, the award recognizes students who demonstrate the courage, character and commitment to making Elon a more inclusive, affirming and welcoming community.

The selection committee will consider both the quality and demonstrated impact of a nominee’s contributions. Students do not need to demonstrate excellence in every area equally; however, the strongest nominations will reflect a clear pattern of leadership, advocacy, academic commitment and meaningful contribution to the Elon community.

The award will be presented during the Community Enrichment Awards ceremony during Homecoming.
