Two very grateful College of The Bahamas students have become recipients of a Study Award donated by the Lodge of St Michael #1634 SC (Scottish Constitution) in honour of a past master of the lodge, Mr Ivan Hanna. Mr Hanna was also organist at St Agnes Anglican Church for some years.
The awardees, Lloyd Allen, a communications major, and Shon Pennerman, a music major, were selected as having outstanding work ethics. Both were very happy and felt that the award in part recognized their dedication and hard work. Mr Pennerman feels that he is now "getting somewhere" and Mr Allen, a mature student who took the leap of faith and became a full-time student in spite of financial difficulties, feels that his efforts and conscientiousness are now being appreciated.
Members of the Lodge of St Michael #1634 making the presentation were Rudy Gary Gardiner and Mr Mitchell Thurston, both ex-employees of The College, and Mr George Burrows, Secretary of Lodge.
Right Worshipful Master of the Lodge of St Michael, Brother Dave R Munroe, sent his good wishes to the two young men and also in attendance for the presentation of the cheques were Allison Dean, granddaughter of Mr Hanna, and Ms Cheryl Carey, Director of Financial Aid & Housing at The College of The Bahamas.
