Each spring, the Student-Faculty Awards Committee solicits nominations for the annual
Outstanding Graduating Student Awards. Traditionally, these awards were awarded each
to an outstanding graduating woman, man, and non-traditional student. In 2018, the committee reviewed the original spirit and purpose of each award, researched
the achievements and contributions of Marion Boswell, Joel Wiegert, and Gray Tilly,
and discussed at length several ways to continue honoring their legacy at UAF.听 The
Awards Committee agreed that the best way to achieve this goal is to allow the most
qualified person to receive their respective award, regardless of gender identification.
