Our Awards Ceremony is our annual opportunity to celebrate what is best about AU's gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and ally communities. It is a chance to review our achievements and give credit to members of the campus community who helped make them possible. Each April we have an event where we:

• Present awards to students, staff, and faculty of AU
• Present rainbow tassels to those students who are graduating
• Present the annual Richard L. Schlegel National Legion of Honor award
