The College of Arts and Sciences is proud to celebrate its inaugural class of awardees — exceptional faculty, staff and students honored for their accomplishments in academics, teaching, research and service across 15 categories.
Student Awards
The College of Arts and Sciences seeks to recognize outstanding achievement by graduating seniors as well as graduate students in the field of research and teaching. Graduating seniors were nominated from each department. Graduate research is evaluated based on the potential impact of the student’s research on their field, the quantity and quality of the student’s current and pending publications, and awards and honors received. Graduate teaching is assessed based on evidence of the nominee’s creativity and effectiveness in undergraduate instruction, participation in high-impact teaching practices and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students.
