The President William Jefferson Clinton Hunger Leadership Award was created to honor President Clinton for his commitment to humanitarian causes, especially his commitment to eradicating hunger. President Clinton presented the first award to NC State student John Coggin as part of the Millennium Series at North Carolina State University on January 26, 2009.
Stop Hunger Now and the North Caroline State University Center for Student Leadership, Ethics & Public Service (CSLEPS) will present the award annually to a student from a college or university who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in the fight against hunger and has a commitment to a life of service in the area of hunger, poverty reduction or related area.
