Alice Lloyd College held its annual Honors Day celebration on Tuesday, April 19th. 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 a number of changes coming to the campus for the fall of 2016. The construction of a new JBS daycare facility is scheduled to be built at the head of campus by August 1st. A student recreation area will be created in the space between the current PPPD offices, located in the Gloria House, and the Carrick Dorm. This area will serve as an outdoor activities area for ALC students. Both men’s dormitories, Howard Memorial and Burger-Auen, will undergo repairs to their roofs. The president also announced that a twelve million dollar construction of a Campus Center is in ALC’s near future. The Campus Center will increase ALC’s educational, fitness and recreational facilities.
“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.”
