Honoring the Class of 2026: Excellent, Engaged, and Faithful
Honoring the Class of 2026: Excellent, Engaged, and Faithful
It鈥檚 celebration time! Last night, the School of Business honored its senior class at the annual Senior Salute. Over a casual dinner, students and professors shared conversation, expressed gratitude, and marked one final evening together before commencement on Saturday.
During the event, we presented the 2026 Excellent, Engaged, and Faithful Awards. These awards honor graduating business seniors whose academic achievement, wholehearted involvement, and faith-informed character will leave a lasting impression well beyond graduation.
The Excellent Award recognizes top academic achievement within each business major, determined by cumulative GPA.
