The National SDOY will be announced at the AACOM Annual Meeting in April and will be the recipient of a monetary award (amount which will be formally determined at a later date).

The SDOY Award Recipient must be a full-time student at a SOM/COM and cannot be a previous school or national Student DO of the Year (SDOY) recipient. This individual should represent the following ideals and values:

•     Leadership
