Students who attended tutoring sessions submitted nominations and Neri was chosen by a selection committee.

The format for Limestone College’s upcoming inaugural Women’s Leadership Conference has been altered to follow social distancing guidelines due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event, which will be held after the institution changes its name to Limestone University, is open to all females 15-years-old and up. The registration fee has been reduced from $200 to $50.
