We'll be giving out the following awards, honors, and accomplishments:
- M.J. Riggs Award: Created in 2009, the M.J. Riggs Award recognizes those individuals or organizations whose contributions have had an impact upon a specific area, department, unit or goal of the Memorial Union. It is named for Morris John Riggs, the first Board President of the Memorial Union Corporation, who served from 1920-1925. He was described as "a large man of seemingly boundless enthusiasm and energy." He saw a bigger vision of the memorial building that was to serve campus and convinced those on campus to take on the challenge of raising one million dollars in 1920!
- Four Seasons Award: Created in 2009, the Four Seasons Award recognizes students, faculty, staff or community members who have gone above and beyond their formal commitments to the Memorial Union to help the Union achieve its goals or levels of distinguished prominence in the community.
