Nominations are now being accepted for the Student Leadership and Service Awards.

This is an opportunity to recognize those in our community who consistently move people to action, encourage collaboration, exercise good judgment, have integrity, take responsibility and initiative, are committed to a cause, are a role model for MHC students, and have a positive impact on the community. Nomination forms are available at the Blanchard and Kendall information desks and at the offices of the dean of students and student activities. The application deadline is Monday, November 17.
