Raymond L. Smith Award
The Raymond L. Smith Award is given annually to the outstanding male and female senior student-athletes at Michigan Tech each year. Inaugurated in 1970 as the Outstanding Senior Athlete Award, this accolade has become the most prestigious among student-athletes at the University. In 1980, the Varsity Club renamed this award in honor of Dr. Raymond L. Smith, who served as president of Michigan Tech from 1965 until his retirement in 1979.
