2025 CAS Celebration of Students

On April 25th in the Fine Arts Building Recital Hall, the College of Arts and Sciences hosted the Fourth Annual CAS Celebration of Students. At this event, CAS honored one student from each department with a scholarship for the 2025-2026 academic year. These students were selected by their respective departments in recognition of their academic excellence. The ceremony also recognized CAS Scholarship Recipients who received one of the fifty-two scholarships offered through the College. Beginning with a recognition and awards ceremony, the event also had a reception that followed the ceremony. In addition to inviting the scholarship recipients, the students’ friends and family members, CAS Department Chairs and donors who contributed to the CAS Excellence Fund were invited to attend.
