The Association of Woman Students at Houston Baptist University bestowed honors on a number of women as it celebrated its annual Woman's Day. The 37-year-old tradition honors a woman from each class, the faculty and the community as Woman of the Year. Students honored were Jessica Watson, freshman; Katy Bowser, sophomore; Christina Marchesano, junior; and Jenny Chunn, senior. Ruth Ann Williamson, professor of education, was the faculty member honored. Lori Salierno, founder and chief executive officer of Celebrate Life International, was the community member chosen for the honor.
Forrest McMillan (left) and Lawson Hager (right) were presented plaques by Hardin-Simmons University President Craig Turner during the school's annual Faculty and Staff Appreciation dinner. McMillan, the school's newly named dean of students, was announced as the staff member of the year, while Hager, dean of the School of Music, was the faculty member selected for the top honor. In addition to the plaques, the pair also received $500 checks. Hager joined the faculty in 1973, and McMillan joined the staff in 1997 as a residence hall director and was director of recruiting since 2002 prior to taking his new post. The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor held a pinning ceremony commemorating the graduation of 23 social work majors. Frances Pinckney of Copperas Cove received the outstanding student in field practicum award, Shaunie Carter of Killeen the Spirit of Social Work award and Misty Rosenberg of Killeen the academic excellence award.
