The MSU Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD), has been dedicated to maximizing opportunities for people with disabilities since 1971. The RCPD recently held their annual Awards and Appreciation Reception, where they honor the achievements of scholarship recipients and exceptional MSU faculty and staff members. The reception also honors the donors who have generously contributed to RCPD over the years and supported the mission of opportunity for those with disabilities.

The awards given at the reception include: the Spirit of Ability Award, which commemorates the empowering heritage of founders who saw beyond disabilities, the Student Leadership and Service Award that recognizes outstanding leadership of students and organizations within the RCPD and the broader community, and the Outstanding Alumnus Award that recognizes the accomplishments, leadership, and dedication of MSU graduates who make significant contributions to their field. Each of these awards were given to deserving individuals who have positively impacted the MSU community.

Thank you, MSU RCPD, for your commitment to advancing opportunities and experiences for those with disabilities, and for continuing to inspire us all. For more information about the RCPD, check out their website.
