Lenoir-Rhyne University recently presented its annual Community Service Awards to recognize volunteer service to others.

The Lenoir-Rhyne Board of Trustees recognized community members Beth Harris Brandes and Mitchell Gold. On-campus recipients were Rich Duncan, LRU Executive Director of Development, faculty/staff winner; Circle K, student organization winner; and Belinda Ear, student winner.

The LRU Board of Trustees started the Community Service Awards in 1998. The Board’s Committee for Honors and Awards, consisting of trustees and faculty, collects the nominations and recommends candidates for the Board’s approval. The awards are given to those who have contributed significant philanthropic or volunteer service to their communities and whose lives are exemplary role models to the college community as it educates students for leadership and service.
