Motlow Recognizes Student Success

April 21, 2023

Motlow State recently hosted its annual Student Recognition Day. Motlow's mission is student success. That's why we recognize student scholars who model the ideals we seek to cultivate among all learners. We are proud of the students who stand out as model examples of emerging scholars.

Motlow President Michael Torrence presented presidential awards to students who achieved a 4.0 Grade Point Average on a four-point scale. Faculty leaders presented academic awards to students exemplifying scholarly leadership in each division. Head coaches recognized student-athletes demonstrating the greatest combined academic and athletic success.

A gallery of photos from the event including each awardee can be found on Motlow’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MotlowStateCC/
