The Mockingbird Award in honor of William Hadley Denton
The HPA Mockingbird Award is given in memory of William H. Denton, a health policy and administration student who passed away in January 2018. William loved being a student and saw education as a way to optimize a student’s potential to bring good into the world. He had a favorite quote from Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird, that said, “It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” because they bring no harm to the world.
This award recognizes William’s “Mockingbird” qualities for protecting the vulnerable by fighting against injustice, and recognizes HPA students who have demonstrated a commitment to and passion for advocating for the welfare of others.
