Each year, there’s an honorary award for those whom perform outstanding contributions to the state or to society. Two lucky people will receive this award and it will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 14, in the Memorial Coliseum.
The award goes to the following for:
George T. Hale, 63, a fellow graduate of the university; class of 1965. Hale is a millionaire who has donated thousands of dollars to the Development of Educational Television at major universities in the state. Hale also built a camp for handicapped adults, in which more than 300 individuals attend.
Rachael Cabanas, 44, graduating class of 1982’s Goucher College, also completed law school in Harvard. She is being honored by the university for her “honesty and integrity in making difficult choices in a complex world and succeeding despite numerous obstacles.”
Her famous book, Breaking Through has impacted many women and also won her a Pulitzer Prize.
