Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award
The Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award, a bronze medallion three inches in diameter and bearing a relief of the Bowman Hall tower, the name of Stout, and the motto "Learning, Skill, Industry and Honor", is presented annually to seniors who have contributed in student activities, leadership, and scholastic ability.

A committee composed of faculty, administrators and students makes the selection. Only 1 percent of the student body is eligible to receive this award. The Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award is presented to seniors only, and on a local basis. To those seniors who receive it, it brings prestige and honor, as it is the highest award any student at UW-Stout can achieve.


Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities
A committee composed of faculty, administrators and students serves as a selection body. A point system is used in making selections. Juniors and seniors who meet the minimum grade point average of 2.7 are given various points depending upon their contributions in such areas as academic and extracurricular activities, scholarship, citizenship, and leadership.

Each year a select number of juniors and seniors are awarded the national Who's Who Award. Those who have been selected to receive this award are given recognition for their scholastic achievement and potential.
