BMCC Honors 4.0 Achievers 2017 Cohort

September 27, 2017

The Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC/CUNY) Office of Student Affairs recognized 289 current students who completed 12 or more credits while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA at the end of the 2017 spring semester, during an evening ceremony, September 26 in Richard Harris Terrace.

President Antonio Pérez, Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs Karrin Wilks and Vice President for Student Affairs Marva Craig as well as Dean of Student Affairs Michael Hutmaker all offered congratulatory remarks. Several department chairs were also in attendance.

President Pérez told the students it was always exciting to celebrate student success such as a perfect grade point average. But he also advised students to not feel defeated if they ever stumble or suffer setbacks as they continue their academic journey.

“I was never a 4.0 student, but it didn’t deter my drive to be successful, “ said the president.

He also encouraged the achievers to strive and be well-rounded individuals by getting involved in student clubs and other organizations and be willing to take the time to help or encourage their fellow students.

Provost Wilks thanked the students for their commitment to academic excellence. She said achievers in the room had demonstrated that they have leadership potential which would prove beneficial to both their careers and society.

“I see people throughout this room who can make the world a better place,” said Wilks.

Vice President of Student Affairs Marva Craig told the achievers they had mapped their journey of perfection. She also encouraged the students to listen to their peers and if they see them struggling academically, to offer assistance.

“Help others achieve what you’ve achieved,” said Craig.

In addition to a buffet meal and tables decorated by ornaments and small bags of customized BMCC M&M candies, this year’s ceremony was different from those in year’s past. Prior to the ceremony, the Office of Student Affairs challenged students to conceptualize a one-word theme for the year. Each achiever was instructed to think about two to three things they would like to accomplish this year.

Before receiving their certificates, each student took the podium and shared their academic and life goals with the audience.
