The Service Award has traditional been given by the Athletic Department to a member of the campus community who helps serve and support the department and our student-athletes.

This year's recipients of the service award are two individuals who have supported our program in a tremendous ways during their time at Hilbert. Joining Associate Vice President for Student Life | Director of Athletics on stage to assist wih the awards distributions were head coaches Calvin Crosby and Drew Fittry.  

This first service award recognizes an individual whose dedication and leadership have made a lasting impact on Hilbert College and its student-athletes. A passionate and committed faculty member, she has supported countless student-athletes over the years and has served as the faculty athletics representative for women's volleyball.

In her role as Academic Dean, as well as her leadership of the Hilbert College Honors Program and service on Senior Staff, she has helped shape the academic experience for so many. As she retires at the end of this academic year, her guidance, support, and presence will be greatly missed.

Please join me in recognizing. Dr. Amy Smith. 

This next service award recognizes an individual whose dedication to Hilbert College reaches far beyond the classroom. As a faculty member in our business program, he has made a meaningful impact through his teaching, mentorship, and leadership of service trips that have enriched the student experience.

In addition, he serves as the faculty athletics representative for baseball, consistently showing his support for the team both at home and on the road. His energy and commitment make him an invaluable member of our athletics and campus community.

Please help me recognize professor Dan Roland.
