CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – A group of students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has been honored with Dads Association Library Awards. Chosen from among students who have completed their sophomore year, the award winners were among the top three students in their respective colleges or had maintained a 4.0 (out of 4.0) grade-point average.

The association honored the winners at the recent Dads Weekend banquet. A book will be purchased in each student’s name for the university’s library.
