The 42nd Annual Academic Awards
Each year our faculty hand selects those students who not only work hard in class but prove to be an asset to their entire program. Working closely with professors and classmates to set the tone for their new online learning environment, the Class of 2021 Academic Award winners were able to adapt to a fully online learning environment without skipping a beat. Even when circumstance kept these students out of their classroom, their devotion to academic excellence was impossible to ignore.
It is our distinct honor to recognize all of the Academic Awards recipients listed below. You can view the full list of awards and honorees by scrolling or using the search bar to find an individual winner.
