Belhaven University uses Merit to publicize undergraduate student and faculty achievements over social media, in hometown newspapers and online. Students receive recognition when they are named to the President’s or Dean’s List, earn an award, or receive other special recognition. Merit creates a personal online profile for each student, which can be used for internship or employment referrals.
About Merit Pages
The Office of University Relations administers the program. Faculty and staff members notify notify the office of an exceptional achievement or news (and if applicable, a list of those who have earned the accomplishment).
