Congratulations to the 2018 Walther Award for VUcept Excellence Recipients!
The Walther Award for VUcept Excellence (WAVE) was established in 2014, by former VUceptor Mike Walther and his wife Beverly, to recognize the hard work, dedication, and influence of student VUceptors serving as undergraduate peer mentors in the programmatic inititives of The Ingram Commons. The WAVE award is presented annually to those student VUceptors who demonstrate excellence through their role in one of the following categories: diversity awareness, creativity, student success, faculty engagement. Additionally students can be recognized with the New VUceptor Award or the Lifer Award for service to the VUcept organization.
This year’s recipients are: Elizabeth Winter (student success), Rita Yosief (creativity), Theresa Miller (faculty engagment), Kevin Fialkowski (lifer award), Maya Ricketts (new VUceptor award), and Leela Hegde (diversity awareness, not pictured). They are pictured here with Mr. and Mrs. Walther, and their two children Elizabeth and John. Please join us in congratulating them on their accomplishments and thanking them for their outstanding service to the Class of 2021.
