University of Chicago

The Undergraduate Order of the C is the body of varsity lettermen whose object is to support the cause of athletics at the University.

This association works together to "keep the memory of the University athletic life and ... shall perpetuate the athletic honor and traditions of our University."

All undergraduate University men who have been awarded the right to wear the "C" are eligible for membership in this organization. They become members in full standing upon signing the roll of membership at the annual meeting.

During the regular academic year, regular meetings of an Executive Committee and Governing Board (the Executive Committee and two representatives from each male varsity athletic sport) and staff advisors (Leo Kocher) are held bi-weekly during the academic year.

Mary Jean Mulvaney Scholar-Athlete Award

Presented to the male and female senior with the highest GPA. The student must be a four-year participant who has won at least three Major "C" awards. Transfer students who have competed for three years and have earned at least three Major "C" awards are also eligible. The GPA will be based on the student's junior and senior year.

This award was established to honor Mary Jean Mulvaney, former Chairman of the Department of Physical Education and Athletics and a national leader in the development of women's athletics. Miss Mulvaney, who retired in 1990, was always proud of the academic and athletic commitment of the student-athletes.
