University of Missouri System President Mun Choi presented Dr. Mark Fitch with the President’s Award for University Citizenship – Service during the Board of Curators meeting on April 11 at Missouri S&T. Fitch is an associate professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering and advisor for S&T’s Engineers Without Boarders (EWB) student chapter.

“Most will never know the effort Mark put forth, nor will they realize the great campus benefit of his even-tempered, honest, and unwavering leadership,” says Dr. Joel Burken, chair and Curators’ Distinguished Professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering.

In addition to his service with EWB, Fitch helped guide the S&T campus through the Higher Learning Commission accreditation process. He also served a five-year rotation as an officer of the S&T Faculty Senate, which included three years of service on the UM System Intercampus Faculty Council.
