Annual Award Candidates
It is with great pleasure that Western Michigan University's Make a Difference selection committee announces the candidates for the 2020 annual awards. These individuals were selected to receive 2019-20 semiannual awards and are now eligible to win one of four annual awards, each with a before-tax prize of $1,200. The selection committee is giving the campus community an opportunity to provide additional information about these candidates before the selection is made.
