Honors Ceremony Recognizes Minority Students at AASU


SAVANNAH, GA - April 14, 2006 - More than 460 ethnic minority students were honored for their academic achievements on April 9 when Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) held its annual Minority Academic Achievement Scholars (MACAS) awards ceremony.

Ethnic minorities make up about 34 percent of AASU's enrollment of more than 6,700 students.

MACAS recognizes students who have earned a grade point average of 3.0 or better during the current academic year. Awards for this event fall into three categories, depending on how high a student's grade point average is. The highest level, the Academic Excellence Award, recognizes those who have achieved a grade point average of 4.0. The Academic Achievement Award honors those who have a grade point average between 3.50 and 3.99, and the Academic Honor Award recognizes those with an average of 3.0 or better.
