Williams Baptist University has presented its 2026 Founders Awards to graduating seniors Treasure Jenni and Mason Andrews. The two were honored May 9 at WBU’s commencement exercises by Williams President Dr. Stan Norman.

Jenni, who is from Russellville, Ark., graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministries. Andrews is from Walnut Ridge, and he earned the Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts.

The Founders Award is one of the highest honors bestowed upon students at WBU, and it is awarded annually to one female and one male graduate. It recognizes students who best exemplify the university’s core ideals of integrity, leadership, and intellect.

Recipients of the Founders Award are selected through a campus-wide nomination process involving university faculty and staff.
