Houston Hamlett presented with President’s Award at Honors Convocation
Houston Hamlett of Cedar Rapids, IA received the prestigious President’s Award at 皇冠体育’s Honors Convocation on Friday, May 16.
The President’s Award is given each year to a graduating student who has demonstrated a strong academic record, positive engagement in the campus community, and service to others during their tenure at Mount Mercy. 获奖者也展示了学生的坚韧、奉献、同情心和爱心。
“Houston has graced our campus with her remarkable talents, her exuberant energy, and her genuine care for her fellow students. 她是一位有思想的领导者，也是一位优秀的贡献者。 I am proud of her hard work and commitment in forging her path to and through Mount Mercy, and I'm excited to see where she grows from here!” said 皇冠体育 President Todd A. Olson, Ph.D.
休斯顿在Mount Mercy期间参加了多个俱乐部和活动。 She served as president of the Black Student Union, vice president of the 学生会协会, secretary of the Musical Theater Club, officer of SOMOS 皇冠体育, member of Gen 1 club and 项目连接, and a Mustang Welcome Leader. 此外，她还在校园设施内担任住宿助理和大学合唱团的成员。 她在校园的成就不仅影响了她的人生，也影响了她的同龄人。
One Mount Mercy faculty member states “Houston encourages others to get involved on campus and is always willing to help others. That’s a clear example of ‘passion.’ ‘Voice’ comes to mind because, not only does Houston have a beautiful singing voice, but she also uses her voice to speak for others. Not only that, but Houston also amplifies the voices of those around her, lifting them up to succeed too.”
Congratulations to Houston who will graduate on Sunday, May 18, with a Bachelor of 艺术 in 社会工作 and a minor in 社会学.
