SPRINGFIELD, MA (11/03/2009)(readMedia)-- Megan McNatt of Oakdale was recently honored as a recipient of the Skookum Award, an honor presented by Western New England College'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. "Skookum" is the Native American Chinook Indian word meaning "excellence." McNatt was one of 15 outstanding senior students to receive the award during the College's Homecoming Weekend.

A Political Science major with a minor in Sociology, McNatt is a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta and Omicron Delta Kappa honor societies, and serves as Vice President of the Mortar Board senior honor society. She has been a First Year Seminar Assistant for the past three years, and serves as Vice President of the Residence Hall Association. Last summer she was employed by the Mayor of Ledyard as a Grant Writer, and plans on pursuing a career in the field.
