Some of the top students on campus were honored April 24, 2010, during an annual awards program that recognizes the accomplishments of African-American students at Â鶹ÊÓƵ.

“Diversity” has become a buzzword on college campuses that misses a larger point, said activist and BET personality Jeff Johnson, who visited campus Saturday for Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s inaugural Diversity Leadership Conference. More should be done to foster greater community, he said, and responsibility for that rests with student leaders.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ took part in the 21st National African-American Read-In on Friday when students, faculty and staff read aloud in Ward Octagon inside the Moseley Center. Organizers collected donations for Haiti relief and for local libraries at the event, which included an afternoon reading by Â鶹ÊÓƵ President Leo M. Lambert.
