A tradition of the Graduate School at Ohio State is to recognize the various skills that make a successful student within the graduate community. Leadership is one of the overarching skills and competencies that contribute to the students’ employability. This is why the Graduate Associate Leadership Award (GALA) was developed and will serve to recognize graduate students who have taken on leadership roles (on or off campus) while being graduate students at Ohio State.
Nominated by faculty at Ohio State, recipients of the GALA are awarded $1000 each. In its fourth year, the GALA selection committee has selected 6 students to be recognized for their achievements.
Join us in congratulating your fellow students on their recognition as graduate associate leaders at Ohio State.
