Ivy Day royalty, Platinum Eagle recipients named

Ivy Day royalty elected by the student body were queen Ashtyn Nelson of Chadron, and king John Murphy of Harrison, Nebraska.

The queen’s attendants were Madison Reece, Melissa VanDerslice, Kelsey Brummels and Isabella Irish.

The king’s attendants included Johnathan Sayaloune, Aaron Duin, Cory Salitrik, Kevin Zhang.

The Platinum Eagle awards were presented to Blake Hansen of Hemingford, Nebraska, and VanDerslice of Columbus, Nebraska. The award, considered the highest honor a CSC student can receive, is presented annually to one male and one female for distinguished leadership and service.

The winners of the royalty competition and Platinum Eagle were just some of the outstanding winter 2017 and spring 2018 graduates who received accolades during Ivy Day. Many students were also recognized for their outstanding accomplishments in their primary fields of study or other honors.

In addition, special recognition was given to students who graduated with one of three honor designations: summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude.
