Two graduating seniors have been awarded the prestigious President’s Prize for their exemplary leadership, academic excellence and service to the NAU community.<\/p>\n

Lindsey DellaDonna<\/strong>, advertising and public relations major, and\u00a0Nimesh Naik<\/strong>, chemistry and biology major, received their awards Tuesday at the Gold Axe Awards Banquet.<\/p>\n

DellaDonna and Naik were picked out of 20 students who received Gold Axe Awards based on their contributions to NAU in the areas of academic performance, service and activity.<\/p>\n

The tradition of the Gold Axe Award dates back to 1933, a year after the student body adopted an axe as the symbol for Lumberjack athletics. Students selected for a Gold Axe Award also are eligible for the President’s Prize, considered the highest student recognition from the university.<\/p>\n

After reviewing all the Gold Axe nominations, a university-wide committee makes its recommendations to President\u00a0John Haeger<\/strong>, who then selects the President’s Prize winners.<\/p>\n
