In recognition of Dr. Daniel J. Bradley's exemplary leadership and steadfast loyalty and commitment to Indiana State University during his tenure as its eleventh President from 2008 to 2018, the reward was renamed in his honor. The Daniel J. Bradley Medal for Leadership, Scholarship, and Service is one of the highest awards given at the University. The award is given to a student who represents all three aspects: leadership, scholarship, and service, and is graduating with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. The service component is representative of the student being highly involved with community service and experiential learning at the University or in a community. The recipient would have served in multiple capacities of long term leadership roles at ISU and/or in a community.
