Recent awards ceremonies on the University of North Georgia's (UNG) Dahlonega, Gainesville and Oconee campuses presented more than 300 awards to students across the university's campuses, including Sonia Alcantar, who was recognized for earning the Bryan L. Redd Jr. Leadership Award.

"It's important that we take time to recognize those students who are going above and beyond in their efforts to advance their academic careers and who are taking full advantage of UNG's mission to develop students into leaders for a diverse and global society," said Dr. Tom Ormond, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. "The number and scope of awards presented this year is a testament to how our students continue to raise the bar in their scholastic pursuits."

Held April 10, 11 and 13, the Student Honors and Awards ceremonies included a wide variety of awards designed to recognize academics, community engagement, leadership, student involvement, and other achievements.
