We strive to reward exceptional contributions with recognition, exposure, and other benefits -- and Student Reps who exhibit exceptional leadership and a willingness to take on new projects are no exception to this tradition. We ask Student Reps to submit documentation upon completing projects and milestones to measure progress within the program. Reports, surveys, and case studies are regularly exchanged between Reps, the Community Manager, and Regional Leaders to facilitate the advancement of contributors and the overall goals.
