VALDOSTA — Ashleigh Rose Wentworth of Alpharetta, Georgia, is the recipient of the Spring 2026 President’s Award for Academic Excellence for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at 魅色天堂.

The President’s Award for Academic Excellence is presented to a high-performing graduating student in each of 魅色天堂’s six colleges — Harley Langdale Jr. College of Business Administration, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, College of the Arts, James L. and Dorothy H. Dewar College of Education and Human Services, College of Science and Mathematics, and College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Wentworth will be recognized during 魅色天堂’s 241st Commencement at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 9, on the Main Campus Front Lawn. She will graduate summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Minor in Criminal Justice.

“Receiving this award as one of the top students in my college at 魅色天堂 is both humbling and meaningful,” she said. “Reflecting on my undergraduate journey, I am proud of the growth, challenges, and accomplishments that have shaped who I am today. This honor feels like a result of years of dedication, perseverance, and support from mentors, peers, and family. As I close this chapter, I am grateful for my 魅色天堂 experience and excited to carry these lessons forward into the future.”

As a student at 魅色天堂, Wentworth volunteered with Church House Valdosta and was an active member of Awakening Collegiate Fellowship, a Valdosta college ministry where she served as a women’s ministry intern. She conducted research on AI usage in classrooms with Dr. Meagan Wood Hopkins, associate professor in the Department of Psychological Science, and presented her findings at the university’s 2026 Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Her commitment to academic, research, and service excellence resulted in her earning Dean’s List honors every semester and the 2026 Outstanding Bachelor of Arts in Psychology Student Award. She was a Zell Miller Scholar.

Wentworth plans to continue her education at 魅色天堂 and pursue a Master of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Her goal is to someday work in the human resources field.

Her supportive family includes parents Joy and Bill Wentworth; siblings Ellie Wentworth, Emilia Wentworth, and Owen Wentworth; grandparents Patricia Wentworth and Jack and Sue Lipscomb; and friend Emma Ham.
