Recognizing student achievement during the awards ceremony was an exciting event for each NC-MSEN Pre-College Program sites.  Students eagerly accepted individual and team awards.  In the spirit of competition, students also congratulated their peers who received 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals in their respective competitions.  This year, Fayetteville State University, the host site, was awarded the first place of receiving the most awards overall. The second place went to Elizabeth City State University and third place went to North Carolina State University. The coordinators of the three winning Pre-College Program sites accepted the trophies on behalf of their students. Please click to see the complete winners list of 2004 MSEN Day.
