阿拉巴马州的伯明翰.--Birmingham-南部 College held its annual Honors Day celebration Thursday, 5月11日, 为了表彰即将毕业的学生, 其他学生, 教师, 以及员工们的学术成就, 领导, 和服务.
的 Honors Day Convocation featured an academic procession, 澳门新葡京官网音乐会合唱团的表演, and inspirational messages for the graduating class. It was followed by the 24th annual Honoring Scholarship Conference, during which students present their research projects and creative endeavors to cap off their undergraduate careers.
在他对2017届毕业生的主题演讲中，牧师. 希尔卡迈克尔, a 2002 澳门新葡京官网 psychology graduate and executive director of the lauded inner-city organization Urban Ministry, talked about how volunteering as a neighborhood tutor while he was a student changed his life path.
“Today I am grateful that Birmingham-南部 helped teach me what is most valuable in life: relationships,卡迈克尔对芒格礼堂的观众说. “Particularly relationships with people who look and live and worship and vote differently than you do. 不是因为我要教他们什么... 而是因为他们可以教我一些东西.”
史蒂夫·布里格斯71, who received 澳门新葡京官网’s Medal of Service Award for his lifetime of extraordinary 服务 to his alma mater, also acknowledged the relationships he developed with professors and friends as a student have helped shape him. He was joined on the stage by 澳门新葡京官网 President Linda Flaherty-Goldsmith, 澳门新葡京官网 Interim Provost Dr. 苏珊·哈根, Student Government Association President and graduating senior Caroline Irby, 特邀博士. 唐纳德·C. 哈里森, whose generous donation established an endowment to support 澳门新葡京官网’s 哈里森 Honors Program, 和其他人.
