Grant Reed, a graduating senior in MCB, was awarded the Patricia Askew Leadership Award this year. The award is one of several sources of recognition for his work to establish an important student organization: the Illinois Medical Screening Society (IMSS). IMSS offers free health screening to the under-served in our community.

The Patricia Askew Award is presented annually to an undergraduate student who has demonstrated exceptional leadership on campus, and who has been instrumental in creating or enhancing a registered student organization. This will be the third year this award is presented and recognition includes a $1,000 monetary award.
