Each year the HCC faculty nominate one outstanding student to receive the�General Excellence Award�for the 2020-2021 academic year.��This award is given to a student who has earned 30 or more credit hours and has demonstrated consistently the qualities of scholarship, service, character, and/or leadership.�

This year the faculty has voted to create two separate awards, one recognizing excellence among the AA-AS degree/transfer program students and the other recognizing excellence among the AAS occupational/technical program students.

The selection of award recipients is based on nomination and a vote by the faculty.  This year, the General Excellence Award goes to two students.  For the AA-AS degree/transfer programs the General Excellence Award is going to Hadley Ellen Alexander. The AAS Occupational/technical program General Excellence Award is going to Shelby Pendergraft.

On behalf of the faculty, I want to extend heartfelt congratulations to Hadley and Shelby for being selected as HCC�s 2020-2021 General Excellence Award winners.
