The award is presented each summer to the PBC member institution that embraces the NCAA Division II core value of community engagement, bringing the institution and the local community together.
The Nighthawks hosted a 5th Graders' Day Out in association with Lumpkin County Schools on Nov. 30. All fifth-graders from the Lumpkin County School System visited 91ÁÔÆæ's Dahlonega Campus for a tour, lunch in the dining hall, and the men's basketball game against Toccoa Falls College.
