Yvette Michaud Student Leadership Award - The Yvette Michaud Student Leadership Award is awarded each fall to an Environmental Studies major who demonstrates leadership in environmental causes that actively engage the campus and/or the wider community. Yvette Michaud graduated summa cum laude from the ENVS program in 2007 and was a leader in ECO-Students. She worked with Student Center staff to phase in composting as part of their waste management prac-tices. The Leadership Award was created by an anonymous donor to encourage student environmental activism and leadership and to honor Yvette’s leadership.
ENVS Department Honoree - Each year the ENVS Program selects an honoree for the Honors Convocation. The honoree must have earned a high GPA, but the selection also honors broader achievements such as contributions to environmental work.
