Honors Grad!

Dr. Mark Walling (Honors Thesis Advisor), Matt Calvert (Honors graduate), Dr. Steve Benton (Honors Program Director)
Congratulations to Matt Calvert, who graduates with Departmental Honors today. Matt's degree is in Human Services Counseling for the Deaf. He delivered a touching student address at the Honors Graduation Ceremony this morning and then was presented with a Departmental Honors silver stole along with cords from the Alpha Chi Honors Society. Matt is also wearing his Rotaract stole. Dr. Mark Walling presented Matt with his undergraduate thesis hood in this morning's ceremony.

Matt taught us the ASL sign for "applause," and everyone in attendance is using that sign to help Matt thank his parents, who are deaf, for the help they have given him throughout his college career.
