Alice Lloyd College held its annual Honors Day celebration on Tuesday, April 14th. During this special and time-honored assembly, students were recognized for their superior achievements in academics. Numerous awards were handed out for excellence in specific subjects and majors. Other prizes were also given, including the Billie and Curtis Owens Writing Awards and the Scholar-Athlete Awards. Awards for special achievements made by students in various organizations and community service projects were also announced.

President Joe Alan Stepp delivered an address in which he noted the changes coming to campus for the fall of 2015. The construction of ALC’s new Bettinger Center for Servant Leadership is currently set to be completed by July 15th. The ALC pottery shop has been fully constructed, and is only lacking signage. In addition to this, renovations are currently being made to the business office, the admissions office, and the meadow next to the Jerry C. Davis Student Center. These renovations are expected to be complete no later than August 1st.  Renovations will also be made to the Campbell Arts Center over the 2015 summer break. The president also announced that a twelve million dollar construction of a Campus Center is in ALC’s near future, but was unable to give specifics as the plans are yet to be set in stone.

“Honors Day is an opportunity for the faculty, staff, and students at ALC to come together to recognize the achievements of our best students,” said Claude Lafie Crum, Alice Lloyd’s Academic Dean. “So many of our students excel in academics and demonstrate such a strong character, and it truly was a privilege to celebrate those achievements with them.”

Alice Lloyd College is extremely proud of the successes of its students. Below is a list of all the day’s honorees.
