2017-18 Award: Lincoln Laureate


Our daughter was chosen for the prestigious Student Laureate award by WIU (Western Illinois University).  It is given by the State of Illinois' Lincoln Academy and is an award for exceptional, living Illinoians. Awardees are recognized once in the Fall (for Student Laureates) and once in the Spring (for Order of Lincoln Awardees). The ceremony is presided over by the incumbent Governor of Illinois (Republican, Bruce Rauner).

We Parents are thrilled and thankful to God who makes these good things possible.
There is only one Student Laureate winner per year from each Illinois 4-year Institution.
Daughter is pursuing a double major; thus she represents two University Departments at her school.  It was 1988 since the College of Communication Sciences & Disorders had a winner; and 2006 since a College of Music student was picked. Thus, that many more are pleased with her award.
