NEMCC recognizes Languages and Humanities students at annual Honors Night

Northeast Mississippi Community College celebrated the accomplishments and achievements of its employees and students during the college's annual Honors Day Ceremony on Thursday, April 25.

During the 2024 version of Northeast Honors Day, which is presented by the Iota Zeta chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, five students were selected from the Division of Languages and Humanities for individual honors from their division.

Academic head for the Division of Languages and Humanities Dr. Justin Treloar presented three academic excellence awards, a division all-star award and the division's most outstanding student during the awards night.

Kymberlie Gable of Booneville, Grace Lambert of Booneville and Lily Little of Corinth were all awarded for academic excellence in the Division of Languages and Humanities while Lilly Melson of Booneville was selected as the division's all-star student.

Avery Tapp of Iuka was named the Most Outstanding Student for the Division of Languages and Humanities for the 2023-2024 academic year.

Northeast's Honors Day serves as a ceremony to recognize the school's top students in each of its six academic divisions - business & engineering, fine arts, health sciences, languages & humanities, mathematics & sciences and social, behavioral and applied sciences, along with Phi Theta Kappa chapter, officer and advisor awards, Honors Institute graduates and teacher of the year selections, recognition for the college's Scholar's Bowl team, honoring members of the Collegiate DECA, Collegiate FBLA and Collegiate FFA Alumni and Supporters chapters. Students are also recognized for their placement in the college's student art exhibition, the college's creative writing competition (Tyger Symmetry) and for those showing true athletic prowess on and off the field of competition through the announcement of the Tiger Award winners for student-athletes. Northeast faculty members are also honored with the Tremendous Individual Performance (TIP) and Teaching Outstanding Performance (TOP) awards and the Humanities Teacher of the Year. Northeast's Alumni Association and Development Association also uses the Honors Day to celebrate the accomplishments of all students who have received a Foundation Scholarship throughout the academic year. For each one of the college's six academic divisions, faculty members from each respective division are tasked with awarding three Academic Excellence awards, a division all-star award and the Most Outstanding Student award for each division.

Approximately 200 members of the Northeast student body were recognized for their academic achievements and awards during the 2024 version of the event.
