Akalanka Ekanayake (Tivanski Group) has received one of the University of Iowa's highest honors, the Hancher-Finkbine Medallion! The criteria for nomination and selection are inscribed on the Hancher-Finkbine Medallion: learning, leadership, and loyalty. https://awards.studentlife.uiowa.edu/awards/hancher-finkbine/criteria

This annual event honors past and present distinguished students, faculty, staff, and alumni through a series of awards. The Hancher-Finkbine Medallion, one of the awards presented at the Dinner, is an opportunity for members of the University community to recognize their peers for exemplary dedication in leadership, learning, and loyalty. This award, one of the most prestigious at the University of Iowa, seeks to recognize individuals of extraordinary ability and potential. Through the generosity of Hands of Iowa City and The University of Iowa Center for Advancement, medallions are now awarded to four students, a professor, and a member of the alumni family each year. Women and men are equally eligible to receive this symbol of the University’s highest esteem.

Congratulations, Akalanka!
