Honors Convocation

It is a tradition at Wells to have 3 convocations - Opening Convocation celebrates the beginning of the academic year and is the seniors’ first chance to wear their academic gowns. The Collegiate Cabinet plans the Convocation that opens the spring semester and welcomes students, faculty and staff back to campus after the intersession. And finally last night's Honors Convocation is where most annual academic award presentations for student’s achievements are made.

This year we had two Senior swimmer's earn recognition.

Tiffany has been an outstanding student and has earned the Kathryn S. Maloney Scholar Athlete Award for having the highest cumulative GPA over the past 3 years that she has been on the swim team over all the other student-athletes. Tiffany was also inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Society which
is an honor typically conferred upon fewer than 10% of each graduating class. Students do not apply, they must be selected by the Phi Beta Kappa chapter as a whole.

Kelsey was nominated by the Dean of Students and was selected into Who's Who Among Students in American College and Universities which is a nationally recognized organization.

Congratulation to both our seniors!
