”Today was special because it was broadcast for the benefit of our students who were away from
campus, some in the Bahamas, as a way to honor and engage them. It added a new layer to the logistics
and the planning. We asked students to send in headshots so we could incorporate them into the
presentation. We wanted to be as creative as we could to bridge this distance in this virtual
environment,” said Dr. Tameka Hobbs, Associate Provost, FMU.
Dr. Jacqueline Hill, Dean of the
School of Education at FMU said,
“Honors and Awards Day was an
opportunity to showcase academic
excellence and resilience despite
COVID-19.”
Dr. Hill proceeded to discuss how
these students demonstrated their
mastery in overcoming challenges
