Walpole added that the Northwest Louisiana Chapter hosts a Scholarship Golf Scramble that is responsible for funding two scholarships per year to students from that area who are attending ULM.
In addition, the group hosts an annual alumni reception and silent auction, as well as annual traditions such as football watch parties and happy hour events.
Chapter President Will Mulhearn expressed his appreciation upon hearing of the award.
"My time at ULM was great and I want to make sure to continue to give back to my university," he said.
