The athletic department would like to acknowledge this year’s winners of the Difference Award. Each year, student-athletes nominate a professor on campus who they felt made a difference in their University of Portland experience. The definition is left intentionally vague, allowing students to reflect on the many ways a professor may have made a difference to them. This year, four people were selected as winners:
These four will be honored at a UP Men’s basketball game on Thursday, February 20, at 6 p.m., at the Chiles Center. Please come out and enjoy the game and congratulate our winners for their support of all of our students on campus, including our student-athletes.
