The selection is open to members of the college’s various youth league branches, student union, Youth Volunteers Association, Media Corps, class student committees, and residential hall student councils. The process adheres to principles of fairness, transparency, and openness, combining self-nomination with organizational recommendation.

Award Categories

Three awards will be conferred: Outstanding Student Cadre, Student Work Activist, and Outstanding Volunteer Youth.

Award Quotas

The number of Outstanding Student Cadre and Student Work Activist recipients shall not exceed 30% of the eligible members in each student organization (or class committee). Ten Outstanding Volunteer Youth recipients will be selected.

Outstanding Student Cadres must comply with the regulations of the “Shantou University Student Cadre Management Measures,” demonstrate firm political convictions, good moral character, solid academic performance, and outstanding organizational capability, with excellent evaluations from their student organizations or class committees.
