On Wednesday, April 5, SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher presented
the 2017 Chancellor’s Awards for Student Excellence
to 256 students from across the university system. Three Mohawk
Valley Community College students were among those who earned
this honor: Amila Muhovic, Bruna Rosic, and Almir Tricic.
Muhovic, a General Science major from Utica, N.Y., has achieved
great academic excellence and has become an active member
of the MVCC student body. She has participated in multiple
campus groups and clubs, including CSTEP, the Sustainability
Club, ATOM-E Science Club, and Women in Science and Engineering
(WISE). Muhovic has been a study group leader for CSTEP and
is the current president of ATOM-E. She plans to attend a
pharmacy school.
Rosic, an English major from Croatia, Europe, has achieved
academic and personal success as a student at MVCC. She completed
her English as a Second Language program with excellent grades
and will graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education.
Rosic has been an active member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor
society, in which she is vice president of scholarship. She
also works in the Learning Commons, where she helps her fellow
students succeed.
Tricic, an Engineering Science major from Utica, N.Y., has
earned a cumulative 3.8 GPA. He captained the men’s
soccer team, received the Alumni Award, and has served as
student assistant coach of the soccer team. Tricic is a member
of Student Congress, the Future Engineers Club, and is president
of the Indoor Soccer Club. He also is a tutor in the MVCC
Learning Commons.
The Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence was created
in 1997 to recognize students who have best demonstrated,
and have been recognized for, the integration of academic
excellence with accomplishments in the areas of leadership,
athletics, community service, creative and performing arts,
campus involvement, or career achievement. Each year, SUNY
campus presidents establish a selection committee, which reviews
the accomplishments of exemplary students. Nominees are then
forwarded to the Chancellor’s Office for a second round
of review. Finalists are then recommended to the Chancellor
to become recipients of the award. Each recipient receives
a framed certificate and medallion, which is traditionally
worn at commencement.
