2016 Neubacher Award recipient
Read MoreBoard of Regents Chair Mark J. Bernstein (left) presents the 27th annual James T. Neubacher Award to Cooper Charlton, co-founder of the Wolverine Support Network, former Central Student Government president, and president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. After injuries forced Charlton’s retirement from varsity lacrosse, he shifted his focus to destigmatize mental health issues and foster a campus community that is more welcoming to people with disabilities — both seen and unseen. The Council for Disability Concerns established the Neubacher Award in 1990 as a memorial to alumnus Jim Neubacher, who was a Detroit Free Press columnist and an advocate for equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities.
