Honors and Awards Ceremony

Honors and Awards - ´å»¨ÂÛ̳ - Purple and yellow badge with purple words circling it.

April 13, 2026

Each spring, we honor our accomplished students through presenting the top academic awards and revealing the recipients of the All-University Student Leadership Awards at the annual Honors and Awards Ceremony.

Because a major factor of our students' success is their support system, we invite not only recipients and their families to the ceremony but also our whole ´å»¨ÂÛ̳ community. This includes students who support students and the faculty and staff who have helped their students get to this place in their academic journey.

Reception: 4–4:30 p.m.
Ceremony: 4:30–6 p.m.
Rauenhorst Ballroom in Coeur de Catherine Student Center
