Although the UPS Awards Night, usually scheduled at the beginning of April, has been cancelled this year due to the COVID-19 situation, we would like to continue in congratulating and recognizing the achievements of our UPS award recipients for the 2019-2020 year!
The UPS awards recognize students who participate in and contribute immensely to the social, athletic, and academic life at the Faculty. These individuals have put in hours of their time on top of their studies to positively impact student life by organizing events, leading teams, and/or participating in activities to support their peers.
