Denise Greenwell, Michelle Chapman Among Those Honored with RCC Academic Awards

Denise Greenwell of Pleasant Garden, an Associate in Arts (College Transfer) student, was chosen as Randolph Community College’s Academic Excellence Award winner for 2018.

Greenwell was one of 58 students from each community college in North Carolina who were recognized in April for academic excellence. AEA selection requirements are consistent with Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society criteria. Students must be currently enrolled, must have completed at least 12 semester hours in an associate degree program, and must have a cumulative grade point average of no less than 3.25. A committee at RCC selected the final recipient based on faculty recommendations.

Michelle Chapman of Locust was RCC’s nominee for the 2018 Dallas Herring Achievement Award, which was established by the NCCCS to honor the late Dr. Dallas Herring, whose philosophy of “taking people where they are and carrying them as far as they can go” is the guiding principle of the system. The award is given annually to a current or former community college student who best embodies Dr. Herring’s philosophy.
