Jokes were made, songs were sung and awards and prizes were given away at Tuesday’s Unforum in the Marriott Center.
As promised, a surprise guest who turned out to be Steve Young, San Francisco 49ers quarterback and former BYU quarterback, showed up for the occasion and honored former BYU president Rex E. Lee.
Young recalled memories of Lee and even told one of his own dorm stories from his BYU experience. He also made reference to his “60 Minutes” appearance that aired Sunday night.
Unsung heroes were presented Brigham Awards for their service at BYU. Gene A. Cook, Laurisa Ward, Reinhard Olslear Franz, John Ward Shurtleff, Eliza Mei-Lan Lin and Maren Mouritsen were all recommended for the award by their peers and co-workers because of their exemplary service.
Circle of Honor Awards were given to five students because of, “their commitments to their work of honor.” S. Scott Ashworth, Holly Piquet, Greg Pawlik, Margie Richardson and Wesley McDougal were all presented these awards for their adherence to the Honor Code.
Three $300 gift certificates from the bookstore were given toward school books for next year to random members of the audience chosen by seat number.
The Unforum also showed clips of students telling humorous things they experienced on campus. The program ended with sports highlights of the BYU football and basketball teams.
