VALDOSTA — Valdosta State University recently recognized an elite group of students, faculty, and staff for their steadfast commitment to uphold The Blazer Creed in everything they do — and Olivia Steward, a student from Flowery Branch, Georgia, was one of them.

As The Blazer Creed states, VSU is a learning environment based on trust and mutual respect, in which open dialogue, vigorous debate, and the free exchange of ideas are welcome. The university is dedicated to the core values of community, including a commitment to practice the following:

Civility — A Blazer shows courtesy and compassion as well as respect for the dignity of every human being.

Integrity — Each Blazer is responsible for his or her own actions, and our community is stronger when we contemplate the context of our decisions and uphold the principles of trust and honesty.

Citizenship — Every Blazer has an interest in the wellbeing of the community and, therefore, a duty to stay informed, to make positive contributions, and to offer support to those who need help.

Steward exemplifies what it means to be a Blazer, to treat others with good manners, to act with honesty and have strong moral principles, and to work hard and help others. She graduated from VSU with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing during Fall Semester 2022.

VSU News: You were honored with The Blazer Creed Award for Citizenship. Why is it important to have this character trait, and what role does it play in modern society? 

Steward: It is important to have the character of a good citizen in order to provide and help the surrounding community. Citizenship plays a role in society by doing something small or big that can have a great impact on someone and their lives in order to help them achieve their goals.
