The Robins Awards Ceremony was held Saturday night in the
Tagart Student Center at Utah State University. The awards featured seniors
from the many programs offered at Utah State and started at 7:30 p.m.
The award ceremony presented awards such as researcher,
scholar, athlete and man and woman of the year. These awards were given to
teachers, advisers, athletes and students at the university.
"This was a great way to congratulate people for their
accomplishments," said Hannah Blackburn, the host of the award ceremony
and senior at USU. "Seniors won many of the prestigious awards tonight.
Including Man of the Year and The Bill E. Robbins Award."
Seniors like Christian Orr were thrilled to be nominated at
this event.
"It is deeply touching just to be nominated for The
Bill E. Robbins Award," Orr said. "He is a personal inspiration for
me and we have many similarities. It is great just to follow in his
footsteps."
Orr helped raise over 3,000 dollars for his community and
also lead his team to a first place victory in a cooking competition for the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
"I have done what I can to help others," Orr said.
"Win or lose the award, I am happy to have helped others and come so
far."
Steven Gould, double major of finance and economics and winner
of the Man of the Year award will be graduating in a couple of weeks.
"It's an honor and extremely humbling," Gould
said. "There are so many great people here at Utah State and to be honored
among them is incredible."
Orr and Gould hope to continue to progress as they graduate
and move on to work or continue their education.
"I hope I can be what the University wants and what
they represent," Gould said. "I am blessed to have job opportunities
and hope to give back to USU throughout my life."
