Each year the Division of Athletics and Recreation hosts an annual awards banquet known as the UMBY’s. The UMBY’s serves as a culminating ceremony to celebrate our athletics department while also allowing everyone to come together as a community at the end of the academic year. Specific student-athletes are honored for their contributions to the Division both on and off their respective playing field. Coaches and administrators are surveyed for well thought out nominations for each major award. Then, an awards committee is formed by the Vice Chancellor of Athletics and Recreation (VCAR) to vote on these major award winners prior to the event. All award winners are given final approval by the VCAR before the UMBY’s. The major awards are as follows:
