“There is no end point, and the fact that the University has acknowledged and applauds this process is both inspiring and challenging at the same time. Now, I have to find ways to live up to the spirit of this award.”

Pictured, left to right, are winners from both years and include, Giri Sundar (2021), Fern Silverman (2020), John Fitzgerald (2021), Neal Nyman (2020), president Michael Mittelman, Sarah Appel (2021), Reade Fahs (2021) and Victor Bray (2020).
