Welcome to the Torch & Shield Awards Photo Album

The Torch & Shield Award recognizes individuals who have provided leadership and who have aided in the development of the University of Minnesota, Crookston, NWROC and Extension. It is the highest award an individual can receive from the campus.

The purpose of honoring someone with a Torch & Shield Award is to

• Honor contributions of significance to higher education, the Crookston campus, and the region
• Recognize champions of UMC, NWROC and Extension for their impact on the region through teaching, research, and outreach.
• Distinguish both high profile individuals and those who have been "quiet" contributors to the success of UMC
