The College of Fine Arts Academic & Creative Excellence Award celebrates the exceptional accomplishments of graduating seniors. Each academic year, up to three outstanding students are selected from each department and school within the College to be honored with this award.
Candidates for the awards are selected from students who have achieved the top five cumulative GPAs in their respective department or school.
Faculty members within the unit thoroughly deliberate on each candidate, considering their demonstrated excellence within the program. This thoughtful process determines the deserving individuals who will be honored with this prestigious award.
This year’s recipients exemplify a dedication to excellence demonstrated through their participation in classes, competitions, concerts, exhibitions and performances:
