Students earning recognition during the ceremony for their outstanding academic achievement include five sophomores who have been exemplary examples of student success. Abiy Ghirmay, Jennifer Middleton, Christopher Simwinga, Kristi Welch and Xiaxhi Zhang will all be recognized with the coveted Ralph Pearson Scholarship Award. The Dr. Richard M.
