All recipients will be graduating, transferring to a four-year university, or will be completing a certificate program by the end of summer. They will receive permanent honorary membership in Mu Omicron Delta and Alpha Gamma Eta, the distinguished honorary societies of Fullerton College, and will receive a scholarship from the Schlinger Foundation and the Associated Students through campus and community donations. The Men and Women of Distinction Awards Program is sponsored by the Office of Student Affairs. More information is available by calling (714) 992-7095.
