Outstanding achievement awards given
Sarah Rogers
Campus Life Editor
Every Spring, the faculty of each
division at Brevard College has the
difficult, but honorable, task of choosing
students who will receive awards for
excellence. In the past, all divisions met
together and held an Awards Day at
which all students receiving awards were
honored. However, with a large portion
of the student body being honored.
Awards Day became quite a long event.
This year, the format for Awards
Day changed. Each division planned a
separate ceremony to award its
outstanding students.
The following are all the students
who have received honors and awards:
