Honors College Donors Give Suraj an iPad Mini

David Wingfield presents Suraj Manandhar, Honors College graduate assistant, with a 32 mb, white, iPad Mini as a graduation present.

Honors College graduate assistant Suraj Manandhar recently received an engraved iPad Mini to commemorate his graduation. He will receive a MS in Computer and Information Sciences on Friday, December 14, 2012.

The inscription of the back of his iPad reads:

Suraj Manandhar, MS, 2012, SAU
Computer and Information Science

In addition, a thank you note enclosed in the box read as follows:

The Honors College thanks you for your time and efforts!

During his time with the Honors College Suraj was the indispensable person in charge of the college's servers. He also contributed many software innovations including the SAU Map iOS app. He will be sorely missed.

No public funds were used to provide Suraj with the iPad Mini. Donors were David Rankin, Donna Allen, Jasper Lewis, Trey Berry, Paul McLendon, Jan Duke, John Hawkins, Deborah Wilson, and David Wingfield. The Honors College thanks them for their generosity.
