Honors Students
Each year at the College recognizes exceptional students who have achieved academic honors and scholastic distinction by attaining and maintaining high accumulative grade point averages. Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or above on a full year’s worth of coursework at ECTC to be eligible.
These are the specific criteria used for determining Honors Students:
1. Have completed 30 or more credit hours at ECTC.
2. Have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above.
AND
3. Enrolled as a full-time student during both Fall and Spring semesters of the current academic year.
OR
4. A part-time student who has completed at least 60 hours of coursework at ECTC, who intends to graduate this year.
In addition to meeting the criteria above, the 4.0 Medallion is for graduating students. Graduating students who have maintained a GPA of 4.0 will receive a medallion for this achievement. These students are recognized as both medallion recipients as well as honor students.

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College will hold its 48th annual commencement ceremony on Monday, May 13, at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at Central Hardin High School. About 220 graduates are expected to participate in the ceremony. The featured speaker will be Mr. David E. Wallace, Chairman (Retired), Nabors Completion & Production Services Company. 
Michael Barlow, Elizabethtown, is the Director of the Financial Aid Department. He has years of experience, knowledge, skills and character essential to help students navigate complex financial aid issues and to guide the financial aid staff. He must stay abreast of myriad changes in government regulations regarding financial aid disbursement, and is committed to enhancing financial literacy among students. Barlow is an advocate of accessible and affordable college education for everyone. 
John Chism, Louisville, grew up in Meade County. John is an assistant professor in the automotive technology program. His years of experience as an automotive technician gave him a practical perspective in planning curriculum and teaching. John developed ECTC’s hybrid vehicle course, which was the first one offered in the state. He is committed to his students and the program, and often visits schools and other venues where he talks to prospective students about the expectations and opportunities in an automotive technology career. 
Dawn Hayes, Bradfordsville, is the senior administrative assistant at ECTC’s Springfield Campus. Dawn serves as the campus receptionist, but her role has expanded far beyond that responsibility. For example, she coordinates the testing center, schedules classes and facilities, and created a localized Springfield Campus orientation for students to address their specific needs. She is committed to excellent and innovative service to ensure that students have the tools and resources they need to be successful. 
Three Elizabethtown Community and Technical College students were the first to enroll in a new Biology Honors Program. John Singletary, Vine Grove, Ashley Register, Elizabethtown, and Cheyenne Morgan, Radcliff, under the guidance of their teacher, Joe Wolf, used vegetable greens to test for bacteria, which is resistant to the antibiotics ampicillin and penicillin. The projects and presentations were judged by biology and medical experts. They presented the results of their independent study and experiments at the end of Spring Semester. Their posters detailed their projects' objectives, processes, results and conclusions.
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College is excited to host one of the most well-known and versatile astronauts in the U.S. in a public presentation. Story Musgrave, who by any definition has led a fascinating life, will talk about his experiences and career on Tuesday, September 10, at 7 p.m. in ECTC’s Regional Postsecondary Center, Room 212. He will also discuss the future of science and space exploration. This unique presentation is free and open to the public. 
On Tuesday, September 17, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College will celebrate Constitution Day with a talk by Jenny Oldham, Hardin County Attorney, at 6 p.m. in room 212 of the Regional Postsecondary Center on ECTC’s main campus.
