As a part of this competition, Benedict College will

the diversity of twelve outstanding male students.
The calendars will be distributed to students and the
Columbia community for a small donation. Proceeds from
the calendar will go towards the David H. Swinton Scholarship
Fund.
Again, this event's initiative is to increase broad
public awareness of the outstanding students of the
College as they become powers for good in the 21st Century.
