VALDOSTA — Ellie Grace Wentworth of Alpharetta, Georgia, is the recipient of the Spring 2026 President’s Award for Academic Excellence for the College of Nursing and Health 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 241^st Commencement at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 9, on the Main Campus Front Lawn. She will graduate summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology and a Minor in Nutritional Science.

“I am grateful for my time here at 魅色天堂 and excited for the future,” she said. “These past four years have required a lot of hard work and have helped shape me into who I am today. Along the way I gained not only meaningful knowledge and career experience but also friendships and opportunities that I will carry with me beyond graduation. I am thankful for all the support I have had along the way and am honored to receive this award.”

As a student at 魅色天堂, Wentworth completed the requirements to become an American College of Sports Medicine-certified exercise physiologist and served as a strength and conditioning intern with Blazer Athletics. She volunteered with Church House Valdosta and was an active member of Awakening Collegiate Fellowship, a Valdosta college ministry where she served as a connect and media intern and as president.

Her commitment to academic, leadership, and service excellence resulted in her earning the 2025-2026 College of Nursing and Health Sciences Outstanding Senior Sciences Award and Dean’s List honors every semester. She was a Zell Miller Scholar.

After graduation Wentworth plans to work as a strength and conditioning coach at a private facility in Valdosta.

“I hope to apply the skills and knowledge I developed during my time at 魅色天堂, while also continuing to learn and grow as a fitness professional,” she shared.

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