This year’s winners were Provost and Executive Vice President Bruce Mallory; Vice President for Student and Academic Services Mark Rubinstein; WSBE Associate Dean of Graduate programs and Research Christine Shea; graduate student Sara Morrow; and UNH-M undergraduate student Joshua Albair. A special Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Associate Provost for Academic Achievement and Support , Judy Spiller.
