The “TNT” award is a Senate and faculty driven accolade that aims to illuminate, appreciate, and honor outstanding individuals whose meaningful work, above, beyond, behind, and between the scenes, is often overlooked, unheralded, and interstitial areas, makes a very real difference in all our lives at our college. This year’s honorees are the Art Department and the Library for their outstanding commitment and dedication to serving our students.
