A Greenville University student from Salem received one of the top awards handed out at commencement exercises on Saturday.
Madison Schaubert was awarded the President’s Award for Character and Service. She graduated magna cum laude, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.
One nominator said of Schaubert: “She jumped in as a transfer student who received the Women in Leadership full-tuition scholarship. She immediately started to lead the group, welcoming women of all ages, planning events that would grow the group in character and service, always willing to serve, reaching out to the women in the most authentic, Christ-like way.”
Schaubert was one of 291 graduates.
Receiving the President’s Citation Award for highest academic achievement were twin brothers, Daniel and James Kessinger of Troy, IL.
Receiving this year’s Outstanding Faculty Award was Theology Professor Robert Munshaw. Munshaw attended Greenville University and has been teaching at the institution for the past 11 years. An ordained Free Methodist minister, Munshaw holds three master’s degrees and a doctorate. Before returning to GU, he served as a full-time pastor. Students nominate professors for this award, and many cited Munshaw’s impact on their life and faith.
