Truett McConnell University (TMU) honored students, faculty, and staff for their achievements through a virtual Honor’s Week in social media and a Facebook Live Honor’s Chapel service on April 21.
“We celebrate our students and their academic achievements this week,” said Dr. Brad Reynolds, Vice President for Academic Services. “What a testimony! In a world where education/learning has been cheapened in many ways, TMU and her students stand as a beacon for learning, for education, and for truth. And that beacon has beamed ever so brightly this week with the accomplishments of these amazing students! We could not be prouder.”
