Two outstanding students were honored with the prestigious President’s Award. The awards recognize not only the highest academic accomplishment in each school but also the significant contributions the students have made to campus life.
The awards were presented to Matias Salfate, of Rancagua, Chile, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Human Resources, and Emily Forston, of Gentryville, Indiana, Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and Mathematics.
