Additionally, at this event, the STAR Awards were presented and members of SGA were honored for all of their hard work from the past academic year. Senator of the Year went to Alex Dolgin; Council of Clubs (COC) Representative of the Year went to Lea Brecel Limon; Committee Member of the Year also went to Lea Brecel Limon; Student Voice went to Daniela Navarrete; and the Heritage Award went to Dharmik Chhatbar.
