The Rock recognized by University of Miami

For years, the professional wrestling world has been in awe of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson simply because what he has achieved in his wrestling career. He’s been a WWE champion in wrestling and also been Hollywood’s favourite for some time. Now he has added a very special award to his illustrious career.

Johnson was recognized by the University of Miami’s(UM) Alumni association last Thursday night at the Alumnus of distinction award during an awards ceremony at the UM campus.

The awards program honours alumni (former students) who have been successful in their field or have made a significant impact through community service. The “Alumnus of Distinction” is the highest honour that a UM graduate can receive for personal and professional achievements that bring honour to the university.

The Rock continues to help the University of Miami. In the past he has generously donated to the UM’s Alumni centre and the Football facilities renovation fund. It was noted to be the largest donation ever given to the university’s athletics department by a former student.
