UNE 2005-2006 awards ceremonies honor students, faculty, staff achievements

Spring awards ceremonies on the Westbrook College Campus April 19th and the University Campus April 25th honored students, faculty and staff who have excelled in scholarship and in their contributions to the University's collegiate community. 

In addressing the assembly, UNE President Sandra Featherman, Ph.D., said "It has meant so much to me to be able to celebrate the accomplishments of our students over the past 11 years. Many of our students have done wonderful things during their time here – and have gone on to do great things after leaving the University as well. We have graduates who are heads of prestigious medical departments, are in the State Senate, have become faculty members both here and at other great educational institutions, and many who own their own practices or businesses, achieving their potential and beyond."

President Featherman noted that Roger Williams, co-founder of the state of Rhode Island, once said, “'The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.'”

"Each and every one of you being recognized tonight has done just that. You have not only made the University a better place, but also the surrounding communities through your dedicated and persistent hard work."
