A Gator Masquerade
The annual One Main Event is an awards program hosted by Student Activities that recognizes organizations and individuals whose contributions to the University of Houston-Downtown make student life amazing and create positive change. Award nominations highlight those students, faculty, staff, and student organizations who have showed tremendous commitment, character, and hard work throughout the academic school year.
The theme for this year was a Masquerade Ball, though by the end of the night everyone knew which Gators had gone above and beyond this past year. Check out a recap in photos below! After that you'll find a full list of this year's winners.
