| Student Section President Melissa Seay accepts the Outstanding Student Section of the Year Award on behalf of Murray State University |
ASSE’s Outstanding Student Section of the Year Award is given to the section that makes the most significant contribution to safety education and research each year. This year’s award went to the Murray State University (MSU) Student Section of the Purchase Area Chapter. Section President Melissa Seay was in Las Vegas to accept the award. “I feel our greatest accomplishment as a student section was being able to help our community and university,” says Seay. “I would like to thank ASSE for choosing MSU for this award. It’s great to see a professional organization so devoted to helping young safety professionals.” Mine Safety Appliances Co. sponsored this year’s award.
