When a club receives an award, they will receive a decal of the medal on their banner at the Club and Activities Fair the following September. Along with the decal, the club will also receive a cash award in their fund-raising account for the following semester. More than one club can win the same medal in the same academic year. Medals are awarded according to the Budget and Management Club Medal Awards Point Evaluation Sheet and the break down below. Medals are calculated the end of the Spring semester and will be awarded at the Club and Organizations Banquet. Please contact BAM at bam@my.easternct.edu with any questions.
