The Ginsberg Family Awards were created in 2018 to recognize outstanding student leaders. The Ginsberg Family established the awards in honor of the late Paul Ginsberg, who was UW–Madison dean of students from 1970-87, in recognition of his profound impact on the campus community. The awards continue Dean Ginsberg’s legacy of transforming the student experience.
