Before the Edge on Wednesday night, this year’s Leadership Awards were held in front of the marketplace. I was there along with Cesar Serrano, Leo Magallon, Virginia Parra and Sara Camarena representing MEChA/ALAS. There were student speakers, including HC and swim team captain Mike Heffner and First Nations club president Mike Adams. Our first surprise of the night was after Relay for Life and Apollo night were announced as events of the year, when we heard our club’s name called out and Semana de la Raza declared the equity program of the year! We were excited to win the honor, but even more excited when we were called up again and MEChA/ALAS was actually declared the club of the year! (Oh yeah!) Kenna even said aloud to us, “You all look so surprised.” When we got up to accept the award.
Jesus Maldonado was definitely deserving of his advisor of the year award and Virginia was recognized as an emerging leader of the year. We were all excited and happy, especially for being club of the year. However, the biggest surprise for me came when Dean Avery announced the final award, the Dean’s Award for Integrity and Creativity, and said my name. Apparently, the administration actually likes my Oxy card game idea and even awarded me $500!
