This award has traditionally been conferred upon a student with a vision and commitment to make a positive change. Nominees in this category will leave an enduring legacy at Humboldt State University after they depart. These students may have endeavored to build working coalitions and common ground, stepped beyond stereotypes, bridged communication gaps, brought together people from diverse backgrounds to work together. This award is named in memory of the 1987‐88 HSU Associated Students President, Al Elpusan.
