The Shorthorn staff
Rain did not dampen
excitement Thursday as
the university community,
friends and family recognized students at the President’s Convocation for Academic Excellence.
President James Spaniolo recognized hundreds of
students wearing cords for
academic success in 2009.
About 280 UTA students
were honored as University
Scholars, making up about
one percent of the student
body.
Award recipients
walked down the aisles in
Texas Hall as music played
and attendees screamed
students’ names and applauded.
Each school nominates
students who exemplify exceptional academic achievement.
Spaniolo said it was
an honor to recognize students and faculty.
