The tradition of awarding Hancher-Finkbine medallions began in 1964. The awards, which recognize outstanding leadership, learning and loyalty, are named after Finkbine and Virgil M. Hancher, who served as president of the UI from 1940 to 1964.
Nominations for the student awards are solicited from recognized student organizations and collegiate deans. UI President Sally Mason presented the medallions and student leader certificates to this year’s recipients on Tuesday, April 5.
The winners of this year’s Undergraduate Hancher-Finkbine Medallions include Christopher Michael Page, Roberto Paniagua and John Robert Rigby, and a Hancher/Finkbine Graduate/Professional Student Medallions went to Harb Harb and Lyndsay A. Harshman.
Many more students and faculty members were honored at the 2011 Finkbine Award Dinner. For further information and details, click here to view the press release.
