The Southern Strong awards were created to honor and celebrate members of the Southern community who went above and beyond during the pandemic crisis
These awards shine a light on faculty, staff, and students who lent a helping hand, with acts of kindness large and small, not only for their fellow Owls, but also for friends, neighbors, and strangers.
