This university-wide awards program will pay tribute to four undergraduate

All members of the MTSU community are encouraged to nominate students who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence and meet the awards criteria, she said, adding that the four awards include the President’s Award, the Provost’s Award, the Robert C. LaLance Jr. Achievement Award and the Community Service Award.
Award descriptions, including applications and selection criteria, can be

“I encourage you to nominate a student who is deserving of one of these
prestigious awards,” Raffo said.
