(April 13, 2021) JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. — Carson-Newman University’s Family and Consumer Sciences Department honored 16 students with scholarships, presented five awards and recognized graduating seniors during the annual FCS Honors Banquet.

The banquet, held April 8, is a time to celebrate students and the generous donations that enable them to access a Christian, liberal arts-based education that may not otherwise be possible.

“When they graduate, FCS alumni enter careers with lasting impact on the lives of individuals, families, and communities, furthering the impact of the scholarship monies for generations to come,” said Dr. Heather Whaley, dean for the School of Business and Family and Consumer Sciences.

Several scholarship donors and representatives attended the event, including: Ray Bible (Barbara Bible Scholars), Meredith Royston (Walter and Elizabeth Peugeot Memorial Scholarship) and Dr. Kitty Coffey (Kitty R. Coffey Endowed Scholarship).
