Generals of the Month is coordinated by the Celebrating Student Success (CSS) initiative and sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs to inspire engaged citizenship at Washington and Lee University. CSS seeks to recognize students who are not typically or sufficiently touted for the depth and breadth they add to our campus community.
Sharan and Brown were selected by the CSS Committee, which is composed of students, faculty and staff. Any member of the campus community can nominate a W&L student at any time with the online form at go.wlu.edu/css.
The last two CSS presentations during the 2011-2012 academic year will be held during lunch in the Marketplace in the Elrod Commons on April 11 and May 9.
If you know a W&L student who has done great, accolade-worthy things, tell us about them! Nominate them for an accolade.
