“Our first year of the University of Findlay CCP awards yielded 96 nominations for 4 awards. We were so pleased by the impressive and heartfelt nominations we received,” commented Rebecca Hillman, director of College Credit Plus. Winners received plaques and were recognized for their extraordinary efforts and commitment to CCP efforts and the University of Findlay.
