“Reading the nominations from the faculty, and the application essays from the students was especially inspiring this year,” said Jennifer Callis, vice president of student services. “These students were leaders in their classes, but when we had to close the campus, many took on additional responsibilities, such as regularly calling their fellow students to make sure they were doing OK.”
