The Chancellor’s Distinguished Emblem Award is reserved for three seniors who maintain a minimum 3.75 grade point average for six consecutive semesters and they must have completed all their courses at Elizabeth City State University. This year’s recipients have grade point averages that will ensure they will graduate summa cum laude– with highest honors. Each will receive a navy blue blazer with the university seal on the pocket of the blazer. The seal also appears on the buttons of the jacket.
