I am pleased to announce that 15 graduating seniors have been named 2022 Dean’s Distinguished Graduates.
The College instituted this award in 1980 to recognize graduating Liberal Arts students who have distinguished themselves in the areas of scholarship, leadership, and service to the College and University community. It is the highest award the College offers and is truly reflective of the remarkable caliber of our graduates.
Even after more than a year of unprecedented challenges, our College continues to produce a highly talented pool of nominees, and we are proud to celebrate their achievements as we wrap up this academic year.
