Submitted by: Barbie S. Prewett

Annaliese demonstrated exemplary care when she connected a friend experiencing distress to support resources by contacting emergency services. She provided critical information to first responders about the situation and location, allowing them to quickly locate and assist her fellow student. Annaliese's actions exemplify the type of supportive community member we strive to have at Missouri S&T – someone who recognizes a concern and takes immediate action to help others.

Bella stepped up and voluntary went to multiple meetings with one of her roommates so that they would have someone to sit with. Without Bella’s help this roommate would have not gone to attend her meetings. Bella also was able to get multiple people to join the fencing club with her so they would all have something active to be doing together.

I was at Havener for lunch and had ordered my food. However, I didn't have my student ID with me so I was unable to pay for my food myself. I was going to cancel my order, go up to my dorm, and come back with my ID, but Jake Wirsig was behind me in line. He noticed that I didn't have my student ID to pay and handed me his pay with instead.

Upstander: Andrew Edwards

Submitted by: Anonymous

Andrew Edwards came to the aid of another student who was in the middle of the road after being harassed and assaulted by a group of six individuals after leaving a local establishment in downtown Rolla. Edwards helped the student to his feet and off the road. He began to assist the student back to his place of residences that was near by when the group engaged him while assisting the student. He noticed the event, interpreted as a problem, and assumed personal responsibility. Edwards did this despite the larger group still there. His calm manner in which he assisted allowed him to help the student get home and seek care. Without Andrew Edwards assistance that night, the outcome may have been very different for all involved that may have been much worse. Edwards not only assisted the student in need, but indirectly helped the other six individuals involved potentially avoid a situation that may have led to criminal arrests. The action taken by Edwards has largely gone unnoticed and unrecognized with the exception of those that were involved with investigating the incident.

During the Admissions Open House on March 5th, the department of Student Diversity Initiatives was a little short on staff and unable to set up their table in time. Michelle noticed that a family was interested in learning more about the department, and she approached them to share all the knowledge she has about Student Diversity Initiaitves. She even spoke with them in Spanish! After an SDI representative arrived and let Michelle know that they may have to leave early due to a schedule conflict, Michelle once again said she would make sure she shared information if she noticed that more families were interested.

Submitted by: Shyla Weller-Register

I had to go for a week long hospital visit (for suicidal thoughts) and Chief Roberts responded to my call and gave me an escort to the hospital. The whole ride there he was telling me that people care and I was loved. It really made me feel better. The hospital visit was not a fun, I panicked, and people weren’t very nice. However, Chief Roberts came and picked me up and began talking to me about how much people care and love me and how I’ll always have meaning and it really made the whole experience worth it. The hospital didn’t keep me from killing myself, he did. And I’m glad to have met him. He seemed like he was going to cry when I showed my appreciation by buying him Oreos. I’ll never be able to thank him enough. He is one in a million and definitely in the right line of work!
