Reportedly, the judging process for each of the finalists was a rigorous one that underwent many hours of serious deliberation."A I can say is I'm glad I wasn't on the selection committee," Knight said. "There was too many great things done by, too many great people. I'm just so impressed by them all." It may have been the single most unifying event of the year on UVSC campus. Under one roof individuals were exactly that... individuals. Everyone came together as equals; faculty and students alike, together honoring each other for effort and dedication to the school, extenuating mutual respect and admiration.

Harrison said that "everyone at the assembly deserved a Wolverine Spirit award" for coming out and supporting the "campus community." "There was a lot for love in that room. People were screaming at the top of their lungs, giving standing ovations, taking tons of pictures. It was so great to see all the support everyone gave each other...that's got to be the best recognition of the evening." Recently elected ASUVSC President Khay Douangdara for 2001-2002, agreed. "It was very exciting to be there," he said. "A lot of people have done so much for this school and it was great to see them recognized." As the reverberating antics candidly delivered by Donnie Osmond's nephew came to a close and signified the end of a high quality production, the seemingly everlasting hugs, the ecstatic squeals from mothers doting on their precious "pride and joy," and the seas of pearly whites stretching far beyond the gulf ball tears resounded one common theme: CONGRATULATIONS!Distinguished Volunteer Service: David Valderrama, "Brittany Wiscombe, UVSC Volunteer & Service Learning.
