Last week, our #WITwants2know question was in honor of our Annual Awards Program, which was held on Thursday, March 30th. We’ll get to more of that in a minute…first things first. 81% of our #WITwants2know respondents indicated they knew of another Wentworth student who had accomplished a goal or some other achievement this year. 81% is a fantastic number! And chances are….some of the 19% probably know someone who accomplished something, but its meaning to that person may be more than they have shared. In any case, it is great to hear that so many are setting and reaching their goals, or have reached some achievement in their life. Often this is not easy. The journey may be fraught with many challenges and road bumps (okay, maybe event some mountains). Be sure to let that person who has accomplished this how amazing they are! They did it!
Okay….the Annual Awards Program….at which, over 160 students were recognized for curricular and co-curricular excellence and leadership. There were stories of students providing service to communities and on our own campus. Students whose level of talent in athletics was matched by their academic determination. Students were recognized for their commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship, leadership, and their specific academic disciplines.
We are happy to share the names of all this year’s award recipients. Congratulations on their well-deserved achievements!
