MMC Recieves the Christopherson Award

On February 6th, 2008, Corey Westra, the Commissioner of the Great Plains Athletic Conference, presented Mount Marty College with its 2nd Christopherson All-Academic Award.

Beginning with the 2005-2006 school year, the GPAC started awarding the Christopherson All-Academic Award. The award is a traveling trophy to be presented annually to the GPAC institution with the best academic performance by its student-athletes in all sports. The award is named in honor of Dr. Myrvin Christopherson, who recently retired as President of Dana College. Christopherson had served as the first chair of the GPAC Council of Presidents.

This is one of the most prestigious awards an institution can receive from the conference and Mount Marty is the award winner for the second straight year as the result of the hard work and dedication of our student-athletes, coaching staff and faculty.
