Last night was our annual recognition night. We were all beaming with pride over the fact that 60+ students in our deparment have done something outstanding in the last year in regard to professionalism and community service. They were honored at half time of the Men's Basktball game (which we lost...ouch) and received a 1G flash drive with our logo as a reward for their efforts (I'm in the photo below handing them out on the sidelines-that's our department chair on the court shaking hands with the recipients). A student and I also collected donations during the game for the America Heart Association via a program called Hoops for Heart. We made close to $100 last night and that along with the money the students collected by hosting a basketball tournment will enable the PHED Club to make a $300 donation to AHA. It's rewarding to watch the students progress through their educational programs to productive young adults.

Nice going! I have met some of the students and can say unequivocally that there are some really outstanding students in your department.
