Academic Awards Ceremony held
"During this information age
of instant access, don’t fall
so much in love with your computer
screen that you abandon your friends,”
Charlie McConnell told the award recipients
during Southwestern Community College’s
recent Academic Awards Ceremony.
Superintendent of Jackson County Schools
from 1991-97 and one of the persons
responsible for establishing New Century
Scholars, McConnell talked about the
strength and necessity for personal
face-to-face contact.

Quit' |

"Friends can encourage and support
you,” McConnell said, “something
your computer will never do for you.”
In an age where most everything is
“quick fix,” McConnell
stressed that success may not come
quickly but may instead require slow,
cautious and continuing effort.
"The best and most memorable
graduation speech I ever heard was
one that Winston Churchill gave. He
stood up and said just two words,”
McConnell told the students. “Those
two words were ‘Never quit.’
I couldn’t say it any better.”
During the ceremony McConnell recognized
Christian Conway of Whittier and Shane
Sullivan of Maggie Valley as Southwestern's
two representatives of the N.C. Community
College System Academic Excellence
Award.
Students receiving academic awards
must have a cumulative average of
3.5 or above. All eligible students
who had maintained a perfect 4.0 cumulative
received “high honors”
recognition at the ceremony.
