The Beaver College of Health Sciences hosted its 2023 collegewide student awards event on Monday, April 3, in Levine Hall to recognize 25 student award recipients for academic excellence and leadership from the college’s undergraduate and graduate programs.
Dean Marie Huff told the recipients that they had been selected by faculty and staff through a competitive process, and was joined by department representatives to present the winners with a sunflower.
“You may know that the sunflower has different meanings across the world, and we have chosen to focus on the symbolic meanings of the sunflower’s including warmth, loyalty, positivity, power and strength, as well as the importance of nourishing yourself and others,” said Huff.
