Calhoun Students Receive National Recognition

A number of Calhoun Community College students were recently recognized on the national level for their academic and leadership accomplishments.  Students from the College received recognition through the National Collegiate Minority Leadership, National Collegiate Education, and All-American Collegiate Scholar awards programs.

To be eligible for the National Collegiate Minority Leadership award, students must be actively involved in student activities at their respective college and have a grade point average of 3.0 or better.  Additionally, they must be dependable, cooperative, responsible, enthusiastic, and good citizens as well as leaders who support their college.  Calhoun students receiving this honor were Reva Dailey and Van-Arc Wright of Huntsville; LaKendra D. Davis, Stephanie C. Davis, and Pamela N. Woodruff of Decatur; Charles E. Hawkins and Jeremy R. Sanderfer of Athens; and Victor E. Taylor of Danville.
