At a special online event on June 3, the College of Arts and Science recognized more than 40 new graduates for outstanding academic achievements during the completion of their degrees.

This year’s medal winners and top graduates in College of Arts and Science undergraduate programs were announced at the 2021 College of Arts and Science Graduation Awards Livestream.

In a video message, Dr. Peta Bonham-Smith (PhD), dean of the College of Arts and Science, congratulated the new graduates on their accomplishments and thanked them for choosing the college.

“Thank you for entrusting us with your education. And thank you for forging new paths and for becoming involved in your university in so many ways. Each of you has enriched our college during your time with us, and we are stronger, and better, because of you,” said Bonham-Smith.
