feature Commencement Graduating seniors recognized at Honors Convocation Seniors who achieved exemplary success in their academic work and co-curricular activities were recognized at the traditional Honors Convocation held May 18 in Morley Music Building. Dr. Deborah Schulman, assistant professor of biology, gave the convocation address, encouraging the listeners to live in the moment. She spoke about the college experience as being a unique kind of opportunity and encouraged the graduates to fondly notice and remember the past four years as an integral part of their lives. She urged them to never stop learning and never stop observing. “Keep in touch, be well, be happy, only wear comfortable shoes, and keep learning!” Schulman said. President Michael T. Victor presented the prestigious President’s Award to Allison Heming. In addition to graduating in the Scholars Program, Heming was a four-year student-athlete, member of the Student Athletic Advisory Committee, resident assistant, member of student government, orientation leader, Ambassador, member of Mortar Board and the 2011 Homecoming Queen. She also implemented a variety of on-campus programs on civility and anti-bullying, a cause she is passionate about. “Ali represents the best of a LEC student,” Victor said. “She has utilized her LEC experience to its fullest and has left the College better than she found it. She symbolizes the type of student in deed and attitude that any college would be proud to call an alumna.” Academic excellence awards were presented to the following seniors: Christina Greenslade, School of Arts, Humanities and Social Science; Richard Volante, School of Business; Claire Oestreich, School of Equine Studies; Allison Pavkov, School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics; Amber Cipkus, School of Professional and Innovative Studies; and Melissa Schaller, Legal Studies. Nicole Sauer received the Equine Leadership Council award. Billie Dunn, dean of students, presented the Jane White Lincoln Dean’s Award to Nicole Sauer. Sauer was selected for the award for her academic achievement and outstanding service to the College community. “Sauer’s mature and insightful leadership has contributed to leaving Lake Erie College in a better place,” Dunn said. Students who had achieved Latin honors, Mortar Board members, Scholars Program participants and scholar athletes were also recognized. President Victor added some final words to inspire the students. “Your ideas, and your actions, will produce the continuous change we all need . . . and that will be a dream come true for all of us,” he said. 12 LAKE ERIE | FALL ‘12
