Awards of Distinction

Margaret-Ann Littauer, of Hendersonville, is a senior nursing major at App State. She will graduate from the university in May.

Littauer serves as an Appalachian Student Ambassador, applying her student leadership in a variety of capacities for the organization, including as secretary, fall community service coordinator and conference coordinator. She was a Student Orientation Undergraduate Leader and member of the APPalachian Orientation Leader Corps for nearly three years, and she served as student body vice president in App State's Student Government Association in the 2023–24 academic year.

"Margaret-Ann took over a top role in an organization and invested in relationship-building across campus, including with faculty, administration, students and App State's Board of Trustees," said Littauer's nominator. "She helped reshape the image of student government and laid a new foundation that the organization has continued to build upon this year."

Complementing her nursing studies, Littauer spent many years volunteering at Margaret R. Pardee Memorial Hospital in Hendersonville, and she acts as a mentor to her student peers in the App State nursing program.
