At the December 13, 2014, Winter Commencement, several graduates were honored with awards of distinction:
Adult Degree Program Outstanding Student Award for Excellence in “Urban”: Kristen Allen
This award honors a student who is also a change agent in their community; someone who is actively involved in an organization (volunteer or professional) where he or she is making a difference in our community.
Adult Degree Program Outstanding Student Award for Excellence in “Diversity”: Nena A. Herbst
This award is presented to a student who is recognized for being a positive influence in their Learning Team and cohort. One who is a creative leader and able to collaborate. Someone who embodies this quote from Margaret Meade: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committee people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Adult Degree Program Outstanding Student Award for Excellence in “Christ-Centered”: Jeffrey David Allen
This award will be given to a student who is nominated by a faculty or staff member for their positive interactions with classmates, faculty, and staff, and with course content. The recipient of this award will be a living expression of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and known for striving to do their best in every situation.
Adult Degree Program Outstanding Student Award for Excellence in “Liberal Arts”: Mimi Catherine Fonseca
This award is to acknowledge a student whose academic skills are recognized by faculty members for a high grade point average, strong attendance record, evidence of critical thinking skills, and active participation in the classroom.
Congratulations to all our graduates.
