CSC announces academic awards for 2020 graduates

Students who graduate with honors also receive their medallions.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jim Powell congratulated the graduates on their academic accomplishments.

“These awards recognize years of outstanding performance. We are proud of you and look forward to hearing about your continued success in the next phase of your life. Go Eagles,” Powell said.
