Congratulations to 2022 Outstanding Chapter Award Winners!

The Society is proud of its student chapters at major schools around the world! The Outstanding Student Chapter Award was established in 1999 to acknowledge chapters that have made significant contributions to the discipline, HFES, their campus, or their community in a particular year.  Congratulations to the following chapters for their 2022 honors!

Chapters are recognized for their contributions and achievements (both the number and quality of activities) across a number of categories as listed below, with emphasis on demonstrated excellence in a specified number of areas. The levels of recognition are as follows:

• GOLD requires activity in at least eight categories with excellence in at least five categories, and at least 50% of the student members being HFES Student Affiliate members.
• SILVER requires activity in at least five categories with excellence in at least three categories, and at least 40% of the student members being HFES Student Affiliate members.
• BRONZE requires activity in at least three categories with excellence in at least two categories, and at least 25% of the student members being HFES Student Affiliate members.

Chapters must clearly indicate the recognition level sought (Gold, Silver, or Bronze), provide supporting materials that document the various activities of the chapter in each category, and provide a letter of recommendation from the chapter adviser. We encourage chapters to submit other materials that will support the application, such as brochures, announcements, or images from events, videos, and Web sites. Please include all supporting material electronically as part of the application, and provide a short narrative that sufficiently details your accomplishments in each activity category.
