Some of the top scholars of 2018-2019 were recognized at the annual Fresno Pacific University Honors Banquet Thursday, April 25. Traditional undergraduate students, family and faculty gathered in the Special Events Center on the main FPU campus for the annual event.
Samuel Delk won the Harold H. Haak Academic Achievement Award. Named for former FPU President Harold Haak, who died in 2003, the prize goes to a member of the university’s Alpha Chi Honor Society who has made significant contributions to the university, community and church and shows promise for future success. The award is provided by Betty Haak, Harold’s wife, who was present at the banquet, and the Haak family.
