OVC Community Service Awards
The OVC Community Service Awards were created in 2022 and bestowed for the first time following the conclusion of the 2022-23 academic year.
The awards recognize outstanding student-athletes for the contributions they make away from the playing surface, both on campus and in the community. OVC member institutions are able to select a maximum of one male and one female student-athlete from their institution to be honored each year.
