Thursday was a morning of celebration at Tennessee Wesleyan College. Students, faculty and staff gathered in Townsend Memorial Hall to celebrate academic achievement, hard work and dedication. President Harley Knowles and faculty and staff members presented more than 100 awards recognizing individuals on campus who have exceeded expectations and excelled in their work at the college.
“Theodore Rubin said, ‘Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best,’” said Dr. Knowles, praising students, faculty and staff for their contribution to the academic success of TWC.
