The STARS awards honoring student and group achievements from fall quarter took place Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Presenters Giles Lee, Prime Minister of Student Activities; Joe Wakeman, Director of Sustainability; and President Ron Erickson honored more recipients than any previous STARS Ceremony.
Students from the Hocking College Perry Campus were on hand to receive an award for their Phi Theta Kappa chapter, Beta Lambda Nu. The chapter was given the "Most Outstanding Contribution to Campus and Community" award for its fundraising efforts for local causes. Their activities included programs to benefit the sheltered workshop for adults with developmental disabilities, and Toys for Tots, a local organization that provides Christmas gifts to disadvantaged children and families.
Wakeman presented the Hocking College Geology Club with the "Green Award," for their environmental efforts with the Raccoon Creek Watershed and the Hocking River. Giles Lee presented Hilarie Burhans with the "Most Positive Impact on Cross-Cultural Understanding" award for her outstanding international cuisine.
