Last year's recipient, Janet Oyeteju, encourages students to apply and reflect on the importance service has played in their UTSA experience. Since receiving the award at the 2012 University Life Awards, she said the award opened opportunities for her to work with nonprofits -- something she is very passionate about. Oyeteju also received the $500 Sandra Cisneros scholarship that accompanies the award, and her picture is displayed outside the University Center ballroom on the Main Campus.
