The President’s Award is given each year to a graduating student who has demonstrated a strong academic record, positive engagement in the campus community and service to others during their tenure at Mount Mercy. The honoree also illustrates the best in student tenacity, dedication, compassion and heart.

He served as a tutor in the Academic Center for Excellence and was a biology and chemistry work-study student. Andrew was particularly proud to present his National Science Foundation summer research at the American Chemical Society Spring 2023 meeting in Indianapolis.
