Greensboro College Names New Student Resilience Award for Retiring Vice President

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Beginning in 2021, Greensboro College will present an annual award for resilience, named after a retiring college executive.

The Dr. Robin L. Daniel Resilience Award will be presented annually to the student who has overcome significant challenges to graduate from Greensboro College, President Lawrence D. Czarda, Ph.D., announced during today’s virtual Commencement.

The award is named after Robin Daniel, who will retire this summer as executive vice president and chief operating officer after 15 years of service to the college.

Czarda cited Daniel for his “dedicated and committed service to the college in a multitude of professional positions” and called the new award “a fitting legacy for Dr. Daniel’s service to the college.”

Greensboro College provides a liberal arts education grounded in the traditions of the United Methodist Church and fosters the intellectual, social, and, spiritual development of all students while supporting their individual needs.

Founded in 1838 and located in downtown Greensboro, the college enrolls about 1,000 students from 29 states and territories, the District of Columbia, and seven foreign countries in its undergraduate liberal-arts program and six master’s degree programs. In addition to rigorous academics and a well-supported Honors program, the school features a 17-sport NCAA Division III athletic program and dozens of service and recreational opportunities.
