University of California President Michael V. Drake, M.D., and the UC Board of Regents recently recognized several UC students for their leadership, resilience and significant contributions to the university.

UCSF fourth-year medical student Alli Gomez-Ojeda and the UCSF Student National Dental Association each received the President’s Award for Outstanding Student Leadership. Three students received the UC Regents Foster Youth Award: UC Merced fourth-year student Maddison Crump, UC Berkeley graduate student Alishba Sardar and UCSF School of Nursing alumna Kuanie Julin.

“This year’s award recipients have distinguished themselves by doing impressive work to address the needs of their fellow students,” said President Drake. “Their efforts directly complement our work to ensure that the University of California is a place where all students can be who they are, feel that they belong, and thrive.”
