Beckie Shrank said she felt "very humbled to think of the time and resources Cedarville alumni put back into the school."

The names continued to be announced as student after student received recognition. What fantastic examples of Christian diligence and academic brilliance!

This year's academic Honors Chapel Apow .44/104e3;,'7t4 1 14:,..4,. was the highlight of the year and the Avis ink culmination of countless hours of hard work for students who excelled 4NO*".#110011111.4 in their field of study. Everything from literature to engineering awards was handed out, as a respectable representation of diligence from each field of study came to humbly receive their award. Most awards involved generous grants from the university or special fund-raising groups that wished to advance the merits of deserving students. Obviously, not every student was recognized in Honors Chapel, but for many observers, this special event was necessary. Sophomore Carolyn Ericsson realized how important Honors Chapel was to the humble students who deserved recognition. She said, "High academic achievement is not something you walk around bragging about to your friends, so it is good to see the people who work so hard get recognized and awarded for their extra effort." Sophomore Amanda Brumbaugh felt similarly and explained, "I felt inspired to work harder and push for that higher GPA or better grade." +Eric Simonaire recieves his award from br. Zavodney, the head of the Engineering b epartment. A. Megan Baker recieves the Ruby Jeremiah Scholarship, which honors excellence in Christian service and academics among married women. What it all came down to, however, was the One responsible for such academic talent and diligence. Junior Sarah Hall said,"We as Christians are supposed to be excellent in everything that we attempt, knowing that whatever we may achieve is for God's glory. For some students, their excellence lies in academics, and today, they were rightfully honored for that excellence." Spring 259
