Departments participating in the ceremony included Dance, Communications, Health & Science and RTV.
Student Keara Stevenson was among the many students receiving an award.

now I’m getting a degree in it, ” she said.
Stevenson is a dance major and thanked her Dance Professor Valerie Gnassounou-Bynoe for her continued success.
“I was really nervous but I was very honored my English 1A Professor Oren was able to nominate me for this very distinguished award,” said Christian Echols.
Light refreshments were offered at a reception after the ceremony.
