Seven Maine community college students were honored Wednesday for their academic success and campus and community involvement at a luncheon ceremony, at Maple Hill Farm, in Hallowell. The event was hosted by the Maine Community College System (MCCS) Board of Trustees.
They included Karen Winfree, of Fairfield, Kennebec Valley Community College.
In addition to being recognized as Students of the Year, they each received a John and Jana Lapoint Leadership Award in the amount of $1,000.
Mr. Lapoint was president of UF Strainrite in Lewiston and a trustee of the Maine Community College System. After his death in 1995, his widow, Jana Lapoint, served on the Board from 1995 to 2006 and helped establish the fund for the annual awards.
