EFSC's college-wide student awards are presented in two categories: student leadership awards, which recognize students who exhibit exemplary leadership, service, and dedication to their campus, and academic discipline awards, which recognize students for outstanding academic performance, creativity, and achievement in a specific subject area during the academic year.

The ceremony at the Student Union featured remarks from several EFSC administrators including Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs and Chief Learning Officer Dr. Randy Fletcher, Dean of Students Dr. Barbara Kennedy, and Associate Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Laura Sidoran.
