Recognizing Honors College Graduates
The Honors College recognizes graduating seniors at a special Medallion Ceremony, held at the end of each semester. The Medallion Ceremony is a celebration of the incredible accomplishments of each of our graduates, and family, friends, and faculty are invited to celebrate with us. Each Honors graduate receives an Honors College medallion, which can be worn during other graduation events on campus. The program will includes remarks from the Dean, a student speaker, and the conferring of medallions.
