hey y'all, I have a question regarding if this would be considered an academic or non-academic award?

So, I was part of PLUS (peer-led undergraduate studying) which is a university leadership activity for helping students learn course material in varying classes. I was a facilitator for a class that I was taking (bchem), and I met with the professor weekly and planned workshops catered to for every module. Weekly, I would hold group study sessions and help my peers learn the course material. After a semester, I was voted by my peers for the PLUS Award of Excellence.

It may seem obvious that this would be considered academic, but I wanted to know if it would be acceptable to put it under Non-academic since the position was extra-curricular and more of a leadership award and NOT an award for academic accomplishments.

Appreciate the feedback, thanks!
