The News Argus, May 2004 Students receive honors By Lisa Boone Argus News Editor WSSU adminis tration, major departments, and professors hon- orod students who had excelled in their studies at the annual Honors Convocation Ceremony. Honors Convocation was held April 22 in K. R. Williams Auditorium. The three cate gories that students were honored in were High Honors, Honors, and the Dean's List. In o rder to be awarded High Honors students had to maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA for the year. Honors award recipients had to have a CPA of 3.0 to 3.9, and the Dean's List stu dents had to have maintained a 3.0 GPA for the semes ter. Some students were unaware that their academic suc cess would be acknowledged. Sophomore music business major Jasmine Rascoe said, "I feel hon- o rod to be recog nized and a bit sur prised. I work hard, but not necessarily for any recognition. All of my hard work has paid off. 1 am happy and I appreciate the fact that WSSU is recog nizing students." Dr. Shirley Manigault, director of the WSSU Honors College, sent a message out to each student that was honored in a letter. She said, "Congratulations on your academic achievement! The university takes a great deal of pride in your academic achievement and w'ishes to recognize you formally." Each of the stu dents who were recognized felt privileged because WSSU noticed their accomplishments. Sophomore busi ness major Deona Cureton said, "To be awarded for any type of work is a great achievement especially when you are a student that has a very hec tic university life or a student that is very involved in different campus organizations. It feels good to finally be appreciated for all of your hard work." Chancellor Martin congratulates SGA President Kristi N. Swink on winning Student of the Year.

Senior Briefs ■ I'd like to start by thank ing everyone who has made my four years possible, because without you I would never have made it this far. It's been a long, hard journey. Each one of us has gone through our own tests and adventures. But the one thing that all of us have in common is that throughout the years we all had friends to share in the good times and the bad. Without friends this journey would have been virtually impossible. Friends gave us someone to talk to when times were bad, but most importantly they provided us laughs and many adventures. Special thanks to my class council for all their hard work. Special thanks to my 3rd floor parents: Mr. Roseboro, Ms. Young-Smith, Ms. Douglas, Ms. Cole, Ms. Inman, Mr. Malloy and Ms. Sloan, thanks for your guid ance and wisdom, special thanks to my advisor, Ken Kimber for your hard work this year. -Maurice S.
