2017 Apr 25

On April 23, 2017, University of the Cumberlands (UC) recognized outstanding students during the 58th Annual Honors Day program.

"Honors Day at University of the Cumberlands is annual celebration of academic achievement," said Dr. Barbara Kennedy, Vice President for Academic Affairs. "We acknowledge and salute the extraordinary students who have distinguished themselves at the University through a combination of talent, hard work, and intellectual endeavors."

During the event, Latoshia Davis of Williamsburg, KY, was inducted into the JT Vallandingham Scholastic Honor Society at Cumberlands.

The JT Vallandingham Scholastic Honor Society was first established at UC in 1961 to recognize outstanding academic achievement as a separate award from the existing Dean's List. Named after Dr. JT Vallandingham, the society seeks to honor Dr. Val's personal and professional commitment to the highest standards possible for himself, his students, and the University.

To qualify as a JT Vallandingham Scholar, students must have completed 96 hours of coursework with a minimum of 48 hours obtained at UC. Students must also maintain a 3.75 cumulative grade point average (GPA) or higher with a GPA of at least 3.50 for the first 48 hours of college classes. Furthermore, students must not have any incompletes except in the case of Presidential Scholars research.
