As the summer months come to a close and we welcome our new team, we thought we would take a peek back to the last year’s team and some of the outstanding contributions made by members of our staff.
Without question, the Intramural team continues to be one of the strongest and most dedicated volunteer teams on campus and this year was no exception. In our current staffing format the team dedicated over 18,000 hours in the 8 months of the academic year. It is certain that without the legacy left by the alum our program could not continue to grow, thrive and be a unique model of student dedication across campus.

Marilyn Pomfret Award – George Mapson
George’s involvement and impact in the early days of the Intramural program are very much alive and well in 2018. Making regular appearances in recent memory at events like Day of the LongBoat and the annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, George certainly is one of the more familiar faces to our current staff, though the mustache always helps. George graciously accepted the 2018 Marilyn Pomfret award and was share a few words with our staff. Congratulations George!
