Zachary Holcomb, a Biology\/Environmental Biology major from Grand Valley, PA, was honored for Character.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Holcomb was nominated by Elaine Farkas, assistant professor of Physics, who cited his involvement is campus life, academic excellence and Holcomb\u2019s willingness to become a tutor for a Physics class that he had not taken in her nomination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHis peers have given nothing but positive feedback, and I have definitely noticed an improvement in the students\u2019 understanding of the material,\u201d Farkas wrote. \u201cIn my opinion, it takes a great deal of character and dedication to master a subject well enough to teach to one\u2019s peers at the same time as one\u2019s self.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryan McCullough, Chemistry\/Forensic Science major from Upper Darby, PA was honored for Scholarship. He was nominated anonymously.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nomination said, \u201cBryan makes time in every day to not only study but to share study habits with other students. He instituted weekly tutoring\/study sessions for the Chemistry Club.

James Nixdorf of Millerton, PA, who graduated\u00a0 in December with a Political Science degree, was honored for Culture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was nominated by Assistant Professor of History and Political Science Jonathan Rothermel, who cited Nixdorf\u2019s desire, not only to student aboard but \u201cto expand the limits of his comfort zone and explore a vastly different culture.\u201d Nixdorf spent the spring 2014 semester studying in India. \u201cJames periodically posted photos on a Tumblr blog, which I followed,\u201d Rothermel wrote. \u201cPhotographs of James submerged in Indian culture revealed he had seized \u2013 and was enjoying – an amazing opportunity\u2026 James shared his Indian story to several of my classes, inspiring others to consider a study abroad experience.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeremy Mapstone, a Nutrition major and captain of the MU baseball team from Manilus, NY, was honored for Service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mapstone was nominated by Chris Cummings, Athletic Mentor and Academic Advisor, who wrote, \u201cOver the past year, Jeremy has served as the vice president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and has played an extremely influential role in organizing community engagement and service events for the organization\u2026At an event (Make-A-Wish fundraiser), Jeremy literally gave one of the shirts off his back to a boy who wore his only shirt into the pool at Decker Gymnasium on cold February evening\u2026But Jeremy\u2019s service does not end with his role in SAAC. Through the baseball team, he recently organized help for a local farmer, the victim of a recent car accident, with the daily duties of farm chores until the man was healthy enough to return to work.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
