Montana State University student leaders surprise retiring President, Geoff Gamble with scholarship award in his name

In an unprecedented move Monday evening, Montana State University student leaders surprised retiring MSU President Geoff Gamble with a new award and scholarship in his name.

The Geoff Gamble Leadership Award will be given to an MSU student annually, beginning in the spring of 2010.

Gamble and his wife, Patricia, have been "deeply committed," to helping students succeed, Gamble said after the presentation. "This is a very special honor."

"President Gamble has had a tremendous impact on student leadership development at MSU, and this scholarship recognizes that," said Carmen McSpadden, director of the MSU Leadership Institute. http://www.montana.edu/leadership/ "He is such a student-centered leader."
