Student Leadership and Involvement Awards

The Student Leadership and Involvement Awards Ceremony, coordinated by the Office of Student Life, is intended to recognize the accomplishments of Student Organizations and student leaders at Bakersfield College. This event, which is the annual student leadership recognition awards ceremony at the College, is a chance for all registered Student Organizations and student leadership to present their achievements to the rest of the College community and be recognized for their accomplishments. It is an opportunity for them to show the wide variety of activities they are involved in and demonstrate their ingenuity and creative talent.

We invite you to cast your vote for this year’s award recipients and help us recognize those who have gone above and beyond in leadership, service, and involvement. Voting closes Friday, April 25, 2025.
