LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Rhodes State College presented this year's recipients of the Alumni Circle of Excellence and the Outstanding Alumni Awards Friday evening.
This year's Alumni Circle of Excellence awards were bestowed on Richard Kortokrax, Warren Pughsley, Melissa States, and Ezekial Wiechart for their contributions in their college, community, and career fields. The Outstanding Alumni Award was granted to Dr. Nicholas Pratt for his career achievements and service. Dr. Pratt, who is currently completing his medical residency at Yale University, talked to us about what the award means to him.
"The award means a tremendous amount to me, you know. Being someone who grew up in the Lima area, Rhodes State was always an opportunity that I knew was available after high school, and I am incredibly proud that I was able to follow the path that I did here. It took me to medical school and now to residency at Yale, and I am incredibly proud and humbled to be able to be here," says Dr. Nicholas Pratt, 2024 Rhodes State College Outstanding Alumni Award Winner.
Rhodes State has been awarding the Outstanding Alumni Award since 1988 and the Alumni Circle of Excellence Award since 2018.
