SPRINGFIELD, MA (11/28/2011)(readMedia)-- Kevin Joslyn of Sutton was recently named a recipient of the Skookum Award, an honor presented by Western New England University's Alumni Association. The Skookum is awarded to students who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in all their endeavors: academics, co-curricular activities, sports, and community service.

A Communication major with a minor in General Business, Joslyn has served as a two-year executive board member for the student group Community Action Rewards Everyone (CARE). He's also a two-time leader of the University's Bear Tracks program, which is an intensive three day program through which First Year Students begin their college experience early.
