The Hornets selected Richard Koenig, Dr. Pam Cutter, Dr. Darshana Udayanganie, and Dr. Regina Stevens-Truss.

The next MVP was Dr. Cutter of the Computer Science Department, chosen by Jordan Doyle. Doyle selected Dr. Cutter because of her support as Doyle's professor and advisor, adding that the conversations they had about her courses helped her gain confidence in the knowledge she's gained along with critical thinking skills that apply beyond academics.

Sophie Hartl selected Dr. Udayanganie of the Economics Department as her MVP. Hartl recognized Dr. Udayanganie for helping her connect economics to her passion for public health, along with the dedication Dr. Udayanganie shows to her students.

Finally, Dr. Stevens-Truss, from the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, was chosen by Ella Spooner. Spooner said that Dr. Stevens-Truss has been welcoming and supportive of her since her freshman year, and she appreciates the mentorship from Dr. Stevens-Truss as both a professor and an advisor.
