University of Missouri-St. Louis Chancellor Thomas F. George was honored with the 2007 Citizen of the Year award from the North County Chamber of Commerce. The award was presented to George during a dinner ceremony on March 27.

“I was truly honored to receive the award,” George said. “It speaks to the commitment the UMSL community has for continuing the enhancement of the north St. Louis County area.”

George is active in the St. Louis community, serving on several boards including the Boy Scouts, YMCA, United Way, Civic Progress, Regional Chamber and Growth Association, and the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Earlier this year, he received the Distinguished Higher Education Award from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Missouri State Celebration Commission.
