Jennifer Chandler of Diana, a junior biology major at The University of Texas at Tyler, was awarded a 2023 Leadership Award in recognition of outstanding service as a UT Tyler student employee. She served the university’s residence life department.

Winners must demonstrate initiative, encourage and inspire teamwork, promote a supportive work environment and remain flexible.

Chandler was recognized earlier this month during the annual student employee luncheon. Prior to the luncheon, student employee supervisors nominated their student employees for either a Leadership, Rising Star or Spirit Award.
