Ward wins award
|
Erin C. Ward has been named the 2004 Trustees Distinguished Merit Award winner, the highest recognition bestowed on a student during Honors Week at University of Southern Indiana. A senior double-majoring in Spanish and business administration with a minor in mathematics, Ward has maintained a 4.0 GPA at USI. She is a Presidential Scholar, a President’s Medal finalist, and National Merit finalist. She also serves as president of the Student Ambassadors and president of the USI Honors Program. A 2000 graduate of Brownsburg High School in Brownsburg, Ind., she is the daughter of Marvin and Hellen Ward. Uncertain of her plans following Commencement, she is considering pursuing a graduate degree in student affairs. The Trustees Distinguished Merit Award recognizes outstanding achievement not only in the student’s major but also in the liberal arts and sciences that form the core curriculum of a college education. It is awarded each year to the one junior or senior at USI who best qualifies by virtue of the overall integrity of his or her student life. Ward was nominated by the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Business. She was chosen for the honor by the Faculty Senate Student Academic Affairs Committee. She received the recognition, which includes a $1,000 award, during the School of Liberal Arts Honors Program March 21. |
