Hope Ayers receives recognition for highest grade point average

2016 Dec 15

Nineteen Alma College students - 14 freshmen, four sophomores and one junior - were recently awarded the President's Cup. The students earned the honor by achieving the highest academic standing in their respective classes at Alma.

The tradition of the President's Cup was started in 1968 by Alma's ninth President, Robert D. Swanson. Students earning the honor receive a certificate acknowledging their achievement and have their name inscribed on the appropriate class (freshman, sophomore or junior) President's Cup trophy. The trophies are kept on permanent display in the Reid-Knox Administration Building on campus.

Sophomore Hope Ayers of Marysville, MI was awarded the President's Cup recognizing this achievement.
