The Leader.

The highest non-academic award that is given by Lipscomb is the Kopio Award. Kopio is transliterated from a Greek word that essentially means to labor to the point of exhaustion to the glory of God. Lipscomb established the award to honor those who give of themselves fully to God and to their community. President Candice McQueen presented this award to Joe at the last lecture event on April 30, 2024.
