Recognizing Student Athletes for Contributions Made Off of the Playing Field

Between a full class schedule, daily practices, and frequent out of town games, college athletes often find themselves spread thin when trying to fit everything into their busy schedules. It is certainly an impressive feat when they find time to partake in other extracurricular activities and their dedication to such additional commitments is certainly emphasized when they do. Each year the Montana Campus Compact makes a point to recognize four student athletes who, despite their busy practice schedules, have admirably still found time to be of service to their communities.

Announced during the always climactic annual MSU Cats vs. UM Griz football game, the Athletes in Service Awards recognize four such athletes who have demonstrated a commitment to serving their communities and in doing so have left a legacy inspiring others to do the same. We are proud to announce the 2011 recipients of the Montana Athletes in Service Award, who have been carefully selected by the Montana Campus Compact Board of Directors:
