FAU Presents 16th Annual IMPAC Awards Dinner
BOCA RATON, FL (March 24, 2004)
--
Florida Atlantic University will host the 16th Annual
Individuals Making Personal & Academic Contributions
(IMPAC) Awards Dinner on Friday, April 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the
Boca Raton Marriott Grand Boca Ballroom. Over
fifteen scholarships will be given to students who
demonstrated exceptional academic excellence and leaderships
skills at FAU.
The IMPAC awards originally was
established in 1988 by what was formerly named the Minority
Student Services Office to assist with minority student
retention and to honor FAU employees and community leaders
for their distinguished service to FAU students. Due to the
influx of ethnic groups on FAU's campus, the Office is now
called the Office of Multicultural Affairs and its new
mission regarding the IMPAC awards is to target freshmen
and sophomore students of all ethnic groups and provide
them with the opportunity to apply for scholarships made
possible through various contributions. IMPAC is one of
many programs initiated at FAU to assist in the effort of
retaining students during the first two crucial years of
college.
The 2004 Title Sponsor for this
year's IMPAC awards is OfficeDepot. Other sponsors include
Broward & Palm Beach Communities Physicians,
Chartwell's Food Services, Riverside Medical Associates,
Inc., Anthony J. Russon, Jr., P.A., State Farm Insurance
and various FAU contributors.
