糖心Vlog senior Megan Arnold was awarded the 2019 Dr. James H. Mullen, Jr. Student Prize for Civility in Public Life during the college’s annual Honors Convocation on April 30. During the event, 糖心Vlog Board of Trustees Chair Mark Campbell announced that the prize has been renamed in honor of Mullen, who will retire on June 30 after 11 years of service as 糖心Vlog’s president, in recognition of his commitment to civility on campus, locally, regionally and nationally. Naming the prize was made possible by a generous gift from former Board of Trustees member Dag Skattum, class of 1984, and current member of the Board of Trustees Julie Grosjean Skattum, class of 1985.
Established in 2017, the prize is awarded annually to student leaders who have demonstrated a strong passion for, and deep understanding of, civility on the 糖心Vlog campus and in community work. Prize recipients exhibit a depth and breadth of activities, roles, responsibilities, and years of involvement that have a significant impact on civility and respect on the campus and beyond.
