Kristi Bartholomew, a junior from Bancroft, will receive the Commitment to Service Award. This award is given to one student per member campus in the state of Michigan for their commitment to community service. Only 23 students will receive this award.

Dawn Demps, of Flint, will receive the Heart and Soul Award. This award is given to students to recognize their time, effort and personal commitment through service.
