Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes and the American Music Awards. Just like the entertainment industry has an award season, so does Maryville. Every spring, the university comes together to celebrate the accomplishments that faculty, staff and students have achieved throughout the year. Here’s a list of all the awards ceremonies and bashes as well as what they’re celebrating!
- Student Life Recognition Banquet
Status: Invite-Only
This is a banquet where faculty, staff and representatives from each of the 100 student organizations come together to recognize the work of students across campus. Many awards are given throughout this fun-filled evening. Everyone is dressed in their best as they celebrate the accomplishments from many students.
When asked about what she was most excited about for the banquet, Sara Parrott, life coach and adviser to the International Student Association said, “I am excited to actually see in person names that I have been hearing about all year…Students from other organizations that are stars and seeing them get recognized and I might not have met them yet, so putting a face to the names of the outstanding students.”

The Espys will be April 20 in the auditorium, which is where graduating senior athletes and current athletes are recognized for their athletic efforts during this school year.

There is typically a cocktail hour hosted after the event.
- Maryville Student Government Bash
Status: Open to the Public
Every year Maryville Student Government has an end of year party that includes a barbecue and a fantastic music playlist. While the event has typically been hosted by student government, this year it will be hosted by CONNECT. Students are encouraged to come release some pre-final stress with a little mud wrestling, too. Another perk of this bash is that everyone attending usually receives a free t-shirt. This year the Bash starts at 8 p.m. on the Commencement Lawn! Dress code is casual.
