The Annual Excellence in Diversity Awards and Salute to Graduates Ceremony are highlights of our year. The program includes the presentation of the Excellence in Diversity Man, Woman, and Faculty/Staff Member of the Year awards. At this recognition ceremony
we will also honor our semester graduating seniors. This joyous occasion is always
a special event for the entire campus community.
The focus of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Luncheon is to bring the community
together to celebrate our past, present and future. By sharing our common experiences,
we expect to build an even closer relationship with the community. It also provides
us an opportunity to recognize individuals who remind us each day of the teachings
and philosophies of Dr. King.
