Award-Winning Students!

By Tammy Rothell, Undergraduate Student Services Coordinator

We are very proud of all our winners for their hard work and accomplishments and are disappointed that we will not be able to honor them at the Spring Formal as originally planned. However, we will be honoring them publicly in another way soon! We hope you all will continue good practices of social distancing and handwashing as we make our way through these unusual circumstances. We wish good health to you and your loved ones!
