Sixteen students were commissioned for service as Junior Marshals at Catawba College in an August 16th ceremony held as part of Opening Convocation activities for the 2016-2017 academic year.
These Junior Marshals, who assist College Marshal David Pulliam, assure that order and dignity are observed during formal occasions of the college, including Opening Convocation, Awards Convocation, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Marshals also serve at the annual Service of Lessons and Carols.
