LCSC Alumni Association awards celebration is Wednesday
The Lewis-Clark State College Alumni Association will hold its annual awards celebration and reception on May 6 at the Clarkston Golf and Country Club, located at 1676 Elm Street in Clarkston.

Award winners for this year include Mary Jane Oatman-Wak Wak as Alumna of the Year, Melinda George as Outstanding Coeur d’Alene Alumna of the Year, Jill Hanford as Young Alumna of the Year, and Brett Kinzer as Young Alumnus of the Year. These alumni awards are presented to the alum that has enriched the lives of others through generous gifts of time and talent, their involvement with civic, charitable, and social causes, and an ability to inspire. The young alum awards honor someone who is under 40 years of age and sets an inspirational example for future young alumni.
Also receiving honors will be Dr. Robin Henderson as the winner of the Aletha Pabst Award, Steven Branting as the Educator of the Year, and Charlette Kremer with the Spirit Award for extraordinary alumni service. Dr. Robert Olson will receive the Marion Shinn Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Aletha Pabst Award pays tribute to someone who is not an alumnus, but has made significant contributions to Lewis-Clark State College, while the Marion Shinn Award recognizes the outstanding contributions of an alumnus who has shown long-term dedication and service to the College and their community. The Excellence in Education Award recognizes superior achievement in the field of education. The recipient serves as a role model and sets standards of excellence to which others can aspire.
Anyone planning to attend the reception and awards ceremony is asked to RSVP to the LCSC Alumni Relations Office at either (208) 792-2151 or e-mail rmolsen@lcsc.edu
