Last Thursday, April 24th, one of our esteemed faculty Rita L. Joyner, Ph.D. ("Dr. J") won the W.H. Plemmons Leadership Medallion, a 2025 Awards of Distinction.
App State's CFAA writes that "The W.H. Plemmons Leadership Medallion is named in honor of Applachian State University's second president, Dr. William H. Plemmons, who served from 1955 to 1969. Established in 1996 by App State’s Board of Trustees, the award recognizes the time, energy, skills and commitment of students, faculty, student affairs educators and staff who excel in providing leadership that enriches the quality of student life and advances the education of students at App State. Each year, award nominations from university students, faculty and staff are reviewed, and recipient recommendations are made to the Board of Trustees."
We are impressed daily by Dr. Joyner's consistent commitment to leadership, education, her students, and this department. Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved achievement!
