Group honors UM president

UM President George Dennison was named Educator of the Year by the Montana Ambassadors during that group’s annual meeting Feb. 16 in Whitefish.

The Montana Ambassadors are a volunteer, nonprofit organization of leaders in business, education and the professions with a common dedication to living and doing business in Montana and furthering the interests of the state.

Rich Semenik, dean of the Montana State University College of Business, received the same award.

Larry Gianchetta, dean of UM’s School of Business Administration, also was named Ambassador Plenipotentiary, an honor given periodically to an individual who exemplifies what an ambassador is supposed to be.
