Wall of Distinction
Introduced by the 115th General Session of the Student Senate Wall of Distinction Committee and Executive Committee, the Wall of Distinction was created to recognize the Lambuth University community members who have achieved distinction in their respective fields, careers and interests.
The Wall of Distinction will formally recognize these deserving individuals for their accomplishments and showcase their successes. Members will be displayed on the Lambuth University website -- and later in Varnell-Jones Hall.
