ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – Elizabethtown College was recently awarded a $125,000 grant to promote justice, diversity, and career building on campus. Funded by the Lancaster County Community Foundation’s BB&T now Truist Economic Growth Fund, the grant will support Pathways to Progress: Promoting Justice, Diversity, and Career Building. This project will strengthen programs to support underrepresented and first-generation students on Etown’s campus by: intentionally growing ties to the College’s diverse alumni community; creating academic opportunities for students to work with community partners on issues surrounding social, racial and criminal justice; and strengthening career-based learning opportunities for underrepresented minorities and first-generation students.
Each spring, Elizabethtown College honors the outstanding efforts of its students by offering awards across various areas of campus. Awards categories include Campus Recreation and Well-being, Community Living, the Center for Civic and Community Engagement, the Chaplain’s Office, the Office of Diversity, Inclusion & Title IX, Office of Student Activities as well as overall Distinguished Student Awards and the Points of Distinction Award, the highest Student Life honor a student can receive at Etown.
Distinguished Student Awards are given to two students from each class year who have shown the effective integration of the four signature learning attributes at Elizabethtown; relationship-centered learning, international and cross-cultural perspectives, real-world learning, and purposeful life work. Out of these winners, the Point of Distinction Scholar Award is given to the student believed to have shown this integration to the highest degree. Students are nominated for these awards
