The quality of life at the University is enhanced by those students and administrators who demonstrate a genuine concern for their fellow people, a love of learning, and a love of life. Although our community is composed of many talented people who serve the University, perhaps the most valuable contributions are from those that seek no attention. The P.U.M.P.K.I.N. Society recognizes individuals who enrich the University community through their silent and selfless service.
This past year, the P.U.M.P.K.I.N. Society chose to recognize 31 fourth-year students who went above and beyond for their communities and lead lives of silent and selfless service. We wish to bring a greater focus to their contributions. As such, below we attach a list of these leaders who have enhanced the lives of those around them and the communities that they belong to. Join us in celebration of their accomplishments, which have left and indelible mark on the University community.
