Public Health Student Receives Senior Leadership Award

Michael Grant, a senior in the Public Health Sciences program, has been awarded the Senior Leadership Award by the UMass Amherst Alumni Association. The Senior Leadership Award recognizes graduating seniors who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and service to the UMass Amherst community. Award recipients have distinguished themselves through important contributions to student organizations and campus jobs, through academic excellence, and through public and community service.

Grant, who last summer was accepted into the highly competitive Johns Hopkins Basic Science Institute Summer Internship Program and invited to participate in the Bloomberg Diversity Summer Internship Program, will be enrolling in the Harvard School of Public Health this fall. There, he plans to pursue his M.S. degree in Environmental Health.
