Previously called the Library Ribbon Award, the Richard White Library Award was renamed in honor of alumnus Richard White ’47. Mr. White has donated over $250,000 in support of MMA, making improvements in Barnard Hall Library and the Bravo Barracks; provided funds for technology, entertainment, rec room activities and middle school programs; and contributing to the Olympic-sized swimming pool now used by MMA's swim team. He has also donated decorative eagle figurines, currently on display in the Barnard Hall Conference Room.
