UMC
Awards: Man and Woman of the Year
Each year a group of
students is selected to receive Student Achievement Awards, which recognize
those students who have excelled not only academically, but also through
leadership and service to the University and local community. The students
are nominated by faculty and staff in early spring and then complete an
application form where they report their involvement in clubs, activities,
services organizations and list awards and achievements. Each student is
ranked in six categories: GPA, Honors, Leadership, Campus Activities,
Community Service, and UMC Service. The top nominees receive the Student
Achievement Awards, and from that group, two students are recognized with
the year's top academic and student service award, the Man and Woman of the
Year Award.
These students truly are UMC's "best and brightest."
