This time of year not only do April showers bring May flowers, they also bring May awards ceremonies.  June ceremonies, too, come with time and are more geared to the high school population.

So my first stop on the awards circuit was the BCC Foundation 2008-2009 Student Awards REcognition Reception.  The reception and awards ceremony started in the student center.  The initial awards given out were all-campus presentations.  After that, divisional awards were given out in separate areas of campus.

As we headed to Titchner for the Business and Public Services Presentations, my daughter was talking about where she might be going to college next.  The final award of the night for this group was one for Hotel and Restaurant Management, presented by coordinator Rey Wojdat.  Two awards were given out, both monetary that will be included in the student’s financial aid package.  One award went to an “older” student, meaning one that has been in the program; the other to a newer student, most likely first year.  Neither is based on grades but more on involvement.  My daughter Susan received the award for the “older” student.  The award is the Cooperative Association of Food Enterprises Workers’ Compensation Trust Scholarship.
