WHAT THE 100 IS —

A record of real contribution

The 100 is not a popularity contest. It is not an awards night, a leaderboard, or a list of the most well-known students on campus. It is something more deliberate than that.

Each year, The 100 identifies and publicly documents one hundred students whose contributions to Babcock University — through leadership, innovation, service, enterprise, creativity, or impact — are real, evidenced, and worth preserving.

The platform is founded and run by GDG on Campus Babcock, and is designed to grow into an institutional archive over time.

Many students contribute enormously to campus life witout ever receiving formal recognition. The 100 makes that work visible and legibel to the wider community.

Memory

Contributions fade. Stories get lost. This platform is designed as a living archive — a record that persists long after a student has graduated.

Memory

Culture

When meaningful contribution is celebrated publicly and seriously, it creates a stronger campus culture — one that values doing over performing.

How selection works —

Selection is never arbitrary. Every nominated student passes through a structured review before being considered for the final class.

01

Nomination

Anyone can nominate a student, or themselves. Nominations must include evidence and specific contribution details.

02

Screening

All submissions are reviewed for completeness, eligibility, and credibility. Weak or incomplete nominations are filtered.

03

Review

A committee scores each nominee across five criteria: Impact, Initiative, Evidence, Consistency, and Future Potential.

04

Verification

Claims are independently verified where possible. Nominees flagged for concern are reviewed carefully before inclusion.

05

Final Class

The final 100 are curated, profiled, and published. The class is presented as a selected cohort, not a ranked list.
