"It is an annual event that has been designed to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding students and faculty on our campus," said Carl Reherman, executive director of the Office of Outreach. "The weeklong program allows each of the five colleges, the library and the Nigh Institute to provide selected speakers and activities that bring a positive effort to the general student and faculty bodies."
