“Today is a special day as we celebrate our students’ accomplishments,” Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Thomas Sanders said. “As we recognize individuals, I would like to challenge each of us in this community, whether it be faculty, staff, or students, that our work in every area is to be done unto the Lord, for it to be done with excellence and to the best of our ability. Today we have an opportunity to celebrate just a small segment; this by no means is an exhaustive list, but it is a representative list of the accomplishments of our students, and we celebrate this in all that we do today, and we honor Christ, not ourselves, in these recognitions.”
