\u201cHonors Day Convocation\u201d was the Week 7 (Oct. 26) Community Reflection<\/a> in Stetson Chapel. The event is a time to present special awards to Kalamazoo College students for their accomplishments. Most awards are based on outstanding performance in a particular area during the previous academic year.<\/p>\n

Chaplain Liz Candido \u201900 <\/strong>greeted the audience of more than 200 K professors, staff members, students and their families present for Parents Weekend. Jenna Hunt \u201913 <\/strong>sang \u201cLove Went A-Riding\u201d accompanied by piano before Provost Mickey McDonald<\/strong> delivered opening remarks. \u201cThese times of celebration are important to any community,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a time to learn more about each other, to recognize the outstanding contributions being made by those in our community, and to honor those making these contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accompanied by Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students Sarah Westfall <\/strong>and Dean of the First Year and Advising Zaide Pixley<\/strong>, McDonald awarded about 60 students with 31 honors across Fine Arts, Foreign Languages, Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social Sciences, and Physical Education. He also announced non-departmental awards and recognized students and athletes who received various honors in scholarship last year, such as the Posse Scholars of 2016 and 122 Hornets who qualified for the MIAA Academic Honor Roll.<\/p>\n
