Class of 2018 Grads Named Jacob Albright Scholars

Twenty-nine members of Albright College’s Class of 2018 were inducted into the Society for Jacob Albright Scholars at a ceremony on May 6, 2018.

The Society for Jacob Albright Scholars was established at Albright College in 1982. Seniors who have completed at least half of their course work at Albright and who possess a cumulative grade point average of 3.85 or above by the time they begin their final semester at Albright are inducted as members of the society and designated Jacob Albright Scholars for life.

At the ceremony, Karen Campbell, Ph.D., P. Kenneth Nase, M.D. ’55 Chair and Professor of Biology, told the scholars that they are an inspiration to their teachers and classmates. “You are our leaders both in the classroom and across campus, including your work as tutors and laboratory assistants, as well as through your research and creative achievements. Your motivation and drive come from your heart, and your interest, dedication, curiosity, and perseverance to see any project through to completion are inspiring to your teachers and your classmates.”

Congratulations to Albright’s 2018 Jacob Albright Scholars!
