Udeshi is one of only seventeen students to receive SUNY’s Emerging Leader Award in its inaugural year. The Emerging Leader Award honors students who have best demonstrated significant leadership within their campus and community based on one or more of the six Big Ideas included in SUNY’s Strategic Plan, The Power of SUNY: entrepreneurial century, seamless education pipeline, healthier New York, energy smart New York, vibrant community, and the world. Udeshi was nominated by Jefferson for her efforts relating to the entrepreneurial century. To be eligible for the award, students must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average. SUNY announced the recipients of the 2012-2013 academic year award in November.
“We are proud to offer this new award, which recognizes SUNY students who have proven to be leaders in the areas that SUNY has identified as the driving tenets of its own strategic plan,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “Our first group of emerging leaders has set the bar high for future honorees. Congratulations to all of our emerging leaders.”
