The MTSU President’s Award was given to senior Buchanan Fellow Hannah Ferreira from Clarksville, who is double majoring in political science and psychology with an impressive eight prestigious scholarships under her belt and a 4.0 grade point average, or GPA.
“Hannah has exhibited her True Blue spirit through her leadership roles and impressive academic record,” said Provost Mark Byrnes, who was joined on stage by College of Liberal Arts Dean Leah Tolbert Lyons to present the award.
Ferreira, a Blue Elite tour guide and peer ambassador for the Career Development Center, currently serves as SGA chief of staff and previously earned Outstanding Senator of the Year. She was also selected as an MTSU delegate for the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature for two years and was elected to serve as next year’s speaker pro tempore. In addition to campus leadership, she volunteers with children and older adults.
“I’m so grateful for all the people who have supported me,” Ferreira said. “I don’t take for granted the opportunities MTSU has given me … to discover who I am and what I want to do with my life.”
