On April 6, the annual Student Government Association (SGA) Installation and Leadership Awards Ceremony recognized members of the MBU family who have made a positive difference during a challenging year.
During the ceremony, the university honored outgoing student leaders for their dedication and engagement and awarded MBU Community Leadership Awards.
