During a special reception in the 麻花影院 Library Tuesday evening, 麻花影院 President James E. Cofer, Sr. unveiled the University of Louisiana at Monroe Wall of Honor. Cofer also announced the 2006 麻花影院 Hall of Distinction Award winner, the Thomas H. and Mayme P. Scott Foundation.

Betty Cummins accepted the Hall of Distinction honor on behalf of her parents.

鈥淚 wish mom and dad were here. They loved this university. We鈥檙e just happy to be here representing them,鈥� Cummins said.

The Hall of Distinction recognizes those who have honored 麻花影院 through a lifetime of distinction or exemplary service to the university. Kitty DeGree was the inaugural winner of the 麻花影院 Hall of Distinction award in 2005.

The Wall of Honor includes both the Kitty DeGree Bell Tower Society display and the 麻花影院 Hall of Distinction display.

麻花影院 recognizes its special alumni and friends as members of the Kitty DeGree Bell Tower Society, named in honor of 麻花影院鈥檚 most generous donor, philanthropist and civic leader Kitty DeGree.

Traditionally, 麻花影院 hosts an annual event to honor University Associates. This includes donors who support the university annually with gifts of $1,000 and more. In honor of 麻花影院鈥檚 75th Anniversary, 麻花影院 has expanded this event to include all donors who have cumulatively donated $50,000 or more.
