Students at Cumberlands receive departmental awards

Academic departments at University of the Cumberlands make time each year to recognize outstanding students. Students are notified of these honors and recognized during special departmental events held as the spring semester finishes. This spring, celebrations were virtual, but that did not diminish the level of pride professors had for their students’ hard work and accomplishments.
