Armstrong Honors Multicultural
Students’ Academic Achievements
Honorees of the Multicultural Academic Achievement Scholars Awards
The Armstrong Atlantic
State University Office of
Multicultural Affairs hon
ored more than 700 minority
students during the 2011
Multicultural Academic
Achievement Scholars
(MACAS) Awards in April.
The program’s goal is
to highlight minority stu
dents who achieve academic
success, recognizing stu
dents who maintain a 3.0
GPA or above while com
pleting 12 semester hours.
Three designations of
achievement—Academic
Honor (3.0-3.49), Academic
Achievement (3.5-3.99) and
Academic Excellence
(4.0)—are used to honor stu
dents.
“This event represents
an opportunity to recognize
students’ achievements at a
larger scale and highlight the
importance that we place at
Armstrong on academic per
formance and achievement,”
said Michael Snowden,
director of Armstrong’s
Office of Multicultural
Affairs.
Shanara Brown, a soph
omore pre-nursing major,
reflected on the impact that
the event had on her family:
“I have been encouraging my
husband, mother, and sisters
(who were all in attendance)
to go back to school, and to
put Armstrong at the top of
their list. My sons were
excited for me and they told
me that I have a "cool"
school. I told them that this
could be their school one
day. It was very motivation
al.”
Another honoree,
Kendra Johnson, a senior
majoring in health sciences,
added: “I had a great experi
ence at the MACAS ceremo
ny,” she said. “I feel so
accomplished and encour
aged to continue working to
achieve my goals.
As a group, the
MACAS honorees represent
not only diverse ethnic ori
gins, but also various coun
tries from around the world.
Armstrong’s total student
enrollment includes 23.6
percent African American,
4.7 percent Latino, 3.4 per
cent Asian/Pacific Islander
and 3.3 multiracial.
International students repre
sent more than 80 countries
around the world.
