Franklin & Marshall’s All-College Awards were presented to one graduating senior and eight underclassmen during the Recognition of Honors and Awards Ceremony in the Alumni Sports & Fitness Center April 30.
More than 100 awards went to 188 student recipients who were seated in the gymnasium for the ceremony that was broadcast live for family and friends.
In her remarks from the dais, President Barbara Altmann said to the students, “You discovered, you learned, and you accomplished so very much. … You tackled the fear and trials of a worldwide pandemic with adaptability and endurance; you pivoted to online learning and the fast pace of a modular system. You did it all with the customary F&M can-do attitude.”
