The highest honor that can be given to a Fresno City College graduate is the Dean’s Medallion of Excellence Award.
This year, eight students representing seven academic divisions and student services will receive this award which commemorates students whose academic success and community service have brought honor to the college.
“[The deans of] each of our academic divisions and student services … all pick a medallion winner from their division,” said Kathy Bonilla, the college’s public information officer.
Recipients of the Dean’s Medallion are not only honored with a title, but are also awarded a scholarship.
“Each of the students will receive a medallion and a $500 scholarship,” Bonilla said.
A reception for the Dean’s Medallion Award recipients will take place on Thursday, May 9 at 5:30 p.m. in the Old Administration Building, Room 251.
