The Quest for the Best award recognizes 10 high-achieving SDSU students for outstanding performance in academics and community service. The annual Quest for the Best Award celebrates student achievement in four key areas: academic excellence, student service and activities, community service and leadership development. The student winners are asked to nominate a faculty or staff member who had a significant and positive impact on their personal growth and development during their time at SDSU.
