Honors Convocation
Each year Wittenberg University honors outstanding students, faculty and staff at the annual Honors Convocation. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic there was no in-person convocation this year, but rather recipients of awards have been announced on the Honors Convocation website.
We are always pleased to find names of library student-employees who have received well-deserved recognition and it is my pleasure to recognize them now. I apologize if I missed your name and you were not included on the list. Please know it was not intentional.

Celebration of Learning
Typically the first Friday in April also is Wittenberg University’s Celebration of Learning where students present research and projects for the entire campus to enjoy. Due to the coronavirus pandemic Celebration of Learning became a virtual celebration in 2020.
