The\u00a0Delta State University College of Arts & Sciences hosted Honors Day on April 25 to recognize the\u00a0best students in the liberal arts and humanities, as well as the sciences.<\/p>\n
“We had a new location this year and a great turnout,” said Dr. David Breaux, dean of the COAS. “It is an honor to be associated with Delta State’s College of Arts & Sciences, as I am so impressed by our diverse and multi-talented students and faculty. Nobel Laureate poet William Butler Yeats once said, ‘<\/span>Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’ The fires of this year’s winners burn particularly bright.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I especially enjoyed meeting the\u00a0loved ones, families and parents of our students, many of whom took off time from work to be here. I would also like to thank Liz Schmidt and Larkin Chapman for taking the time to honor the winners of the first annual Ethan Schmidt Memorial Scholarships, as the late Dr. Ethan Schmidt’s life exemplified Delta State University at its very best.” \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Breaux also extended thanks\u00a0to the Delta State University Alumni Foundation\u00a0for its sponsorship of the\u00a0reception.<\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s scholarship and award winners included:<\/p>\n THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN DOROTHY SHAWHAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: ART DEPARTMENT SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY & PHYSICS SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DELTA MUSIC INSTITUTE SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES\u00a0<\/span>SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DIVISION OF LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES & HISTORY SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH & HEARING SCIENCES SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS: The\u00a0Delta State University College of Arts & Sciences hosted Honors Day on April 25 to recognize the\u00a0best students in the liberal arts and humanities, as well as the sciences. “We…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":70220,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,14,246],"tags":[1535,186,1411,464],"class_list":["post-70206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-academics","category-college-of-arts-and-sciences","category-students","tag-acdemics","tag-awards","tag-college-of-arts-and-sciences","tag-students-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70206"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70209,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70206\/revisions\/70209"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.deltastate.edu\/news-and-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
