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."
