Nearly 100 Pensacola State College students were honored for achievements in academics, leadership, service and volunteerism at the 2023 PSC Student Excellence Awards Ceremony on April 13 in the Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio at WSRE-TV.
The ceremony recognized Program and Department Scholars, Scholastic Achievement (3.9 grade point average or higher) and members of the All-Florida Academic Team.
Awards also were presented for Leadership, Service and Outstanding Student Volunteer. The Sharlene E. Burkhardt Award is given annually to two students to honor the former PSC student who died in 1968.
