Charter Day Awards

President Engstrom recently announced changes to the awards presented annually at Charter
Day. These changes are a result of recommendations from the Quality of Work Life Council
and a committee of campus representatives. Listed below are the awards that were presented
at Charter Day, February 16, 2012.

The following awards strengthen the message of this day to honor the strong connections
between the University community and the Missoula community and reflect the theme
of town-gown relationships.
