Martin De La Hunt, a senior in computer engineering from St. Louis, has been named one of the inaugural recipients of the Remington R. Williams Award. De La Hunt serves as vice president of operations on Missouri S&T’s Student Council and as drum major in the S&T Marching Band.

The University of Missouri Board of Curators awarded the scholarship to seven students attending universities within the University of Missouri System: four from the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU), and one each from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) and S&T. Recipients receive $1,000 and a leadership medal to wear at their graduation. The students will also be recognized during a Board of Curators meeting at their university.

The award recognizes exceptional student leaders who inspire and advocate for their fellow students. To be considered for the award, students must be involved in at least two student organizations and hold a major leadership position in at least one, and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.
