The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater department of intercollegiate athletics will hold the fourth annual Warhawk Awards Monday, May 1, at 7:30 p.m. in the Young Auditorium on campus.
The Warhawk Awards are a showcase of student-athlete excellence. Several UW-Whitewater student-athletes will be recognized for their accomplishments on and off the field of competition. Student-athletes and staff representing all 20 Warhawk teams are scheduled to be in attendance, along with other faculty, staff and administrators from all over campus.
Members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Warhawk Leadership Academy's Veteran Warhawks, and 2016-17 Chancellor's Scholar-Athletes will also be honored. The WLA officially launched in September 2015.
