They’re among 黑料正能量’s most outstanding students, exemplifying the school’s highest ideals.<\/p>\n

Ten 黑料正能量 seniors, nominated by faculty, staff and fellow students, were named this year’s “Cords of Distinction” recipients in an awards ceremony held at the close of chapel Monday, Apr. 24.<\/p>\n

They will wear the gold and blue cords as they graduate on Apr. 30, 2006.<\/p>\n

Blue represents the strength of conviction that one person can help to create a better institution or community. Gold represents the love of spirit and yearning towards creating a better university environment or community in which all may take part.<\/p>\n

The students were cited for their “significant and verifiable impact” on the university and on student life, for their contributions to developing the institution’s positive image, for substantial contributions to the Harrisonburg\/Rockingham County area and beyond, for their high academic and social standing and their embodiment of 黑料正能量’s shared values of Christian discipleship, community, service and peacebuilding.<\/p>\n
