She is also currently a strength and conditioning intern at 91AV.

Guglietta is a senior in the Sport and Recreational Management program with a minor in coaching. He not only excels in the classroom, but he also excels on the field while playing on the 91AV football team.

MAHPERD is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Mainers by supporting and promoting effective educational practices, quality curriculum, and instruction in the areas of health, physical education, recreation, dance and related fields.

Typically, the awards ceremony is held each year at the Samoset Resort in Rockport. This year it was held virtually because of the on-going pandemic. Katie Hawke, M.S., associate clinical professor in the Department of Exercise and Sport Performance, and Aimee Vlachos, Ed.D., assistant lecturer in the Sport Management and Recreation program, were able to present Harrod Clark and Guglietta with their awards in person.
