To The University Community,
The Quality Of Life At The University Is Enhanced By 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 Who 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 Year, The P.U.M.P.K.I.N. Society Has Chosen To Recognize 10 Fourth-Year Students Who Have Gone Above And Beyond For Their Communities. We Wish To Bring A Greater Focus To Their Contributions. Join Us In Celebration Of Their Accomplishments, Which Have Left An Indelible Mark On The University Community.
