Graduating seniors donned their caps and gowns and marched into Blackwell Auditorium, Randolph-Macon College's Center for the Performing Arts, as the college held its annual Honors Convocation Ceremony. The event took place on Friday, May 13, 2011.
Dozens of awards and scholarships were announced, along with recognition of students inducted into honor societies. Several faculty members were also honored for their dedication to education and to the students at R-MC. The Thomas Branch Award for Excellence in Teaching Award, The United Methodist Church Exemplary Teaching Award and The Samuel Nelson Gray Distinguished Professor Award were presented.
The third annual Marilyn J. Gibbs Dedicated Service Award was also presented. The award was created by a generous gift from former Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Steven Nape and his wife Diane. This award is given annually to a staff member for outstanding service to and support of the mission of the college. The award is named in honor of Marilyn J. Gibbs, whose 18 years of dedicated service to the college as assistant professor of sociology and then registrar exemplified the highest ideals embodied in the college’s mission.
