The school hosted an Honors Recognition Reception and Ceremony on April 12 in Vol Walker Hall to celebrate these honorees.
"Congratulations to all our scholarship and award recipients!" said Peter MacKeith, dean of the school. "This year's ceremony was particularly rewarding given the sustained giving over many years by so many donors and by virtue of the many new scholarships that continue to arrive to the school. On behalf of the school, and particularly our students, I want to express my profound gratitude to our many friends, donors and benefactors for their generosity and their support of our students and our overall emphasis on student success."
Many honors were awarded under each of the three departments and the graduate program, while some honors were available to any student within the school. Some students received multiple honors. Below are several notable recognitions grouped by area of study.
