People and Places Member News and Notes ALC Students Win National Recognition for Presentation on Hospice Volunteering Kodi Faine, Tiffany Owens and Halie Smith, students at Alice Lloyd College (ALC) in eastern Kentucky, won first place in the “Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda Awards of Excellence” competition held this past June. The three students, representing the ALC Chapter of Phi Beta Lambda, presented on their experience as hospice volunteers at Camp Hope, a program of Mountain Community Hospice in Hazard, KY. “The judges were touched by our presentation and commented on what a wonderful program it must be,” said Tiffany, adding, “I believe that Camp Hope deserves all of the recognition. It truly was an amazing experience.” This national awards program recognizes and rewards excellence in a broad range of business and career-related areas, including community outreach. Students compete at the state level, and the top state winners are then eligible to compete for this national award. The ALC Chapter won top honors from the 25 groups which made it to the nationals.
