Achievement Awards

BYLEE MASSEY MEMORIAL AWARD The Bylee Massey Memorial Award is granted annually to a member of the faculty, staff, or student body who has gone “above and beyond” in volunteer efforts, outside of normal responsibilities or assigned duties, for a university project or event, and whose efforts directly benefit UMGC students or programs. The award was created in part by the generosity of the Herman Maril Foundation to honor the spirit of service of Bylee Massey— wife of former UMGC President T. Benjamin Massey—who founded the university’s Maryland Artist Collection.
