The Selection Committee is composed of five individuals appointed by the UCMC Executive Committee
The Selection Committee has at least two alumni, two students and the Club Advisor. The appointments are annual and are reviewed each Spring by the incoming and outgoing Executive Committee.
The job of the Selection Committee is to inform students and alumni of the scholarship. The Committee will clarify eligibility requirements, advise UCMC members as to what types of programs qualify for the scholarship, review scholarship applications, and select scholarship recipients. The Alumni on the Selection Committee help promote the goals and successes of the Scholarship and build a financial foundation for the program by helping seek donations.

Club Advisor: Philip Argyres
Philip started as the UCMC advisor in 2021 after the departure of long time UCMC advisor and alum Larry Bortner, and has been climbing with club members for many years. He has a passion for alpine climbing having spent an abundance of time in the Northeast US climbing and all around the American West. In his own joking words, "I'm a strange choice as a club advisor since I rarely have any useful advice to give" but Philip has been a wonderful addition to the UCMC leadership team especially through the COVID pandemic. He will generally try anything as long as someone is on the other end of the rope or if ice is involved. You will often find him hanging around the physics department with his dogs while at UC.
