Once again, it’s that MERVelous time of year. On Friday evening,  April 25th, the University’s annual Honors Convocation recognized the outstanding accomplishments of our best and brightest students. With a standing-room-only audience in the Griffin Complex, student scholars and leaders were acknowledged. This year’s award winners include:

  • Outstanding Student Leadership Award: Alysia Torres
  • Catherine McAuley Award : Ashlei Miller
  • President’s Scholar Award: Mark Vattilana

The Alumni Association also presented three awards:

  • Outstanding Undergraduate Award: Danielle McCloskey
  • School of Graduate and Professional Studies Award: Fatmatta N. Ofori-Atta ‘13
  • Outstanding Graduate Award: Maryann S. Casino ‘11

Furthermore, the Academic Deans recognized students receiving program honors in the respective schools. Additionally all Honor Society members were acknowledged and honor chords were draped around their neck. These honor chords, symbolic of academic excellence, will be worn at Commencement on Saturday, May 10th which, in my mind, is the most MERVelous day of the academic year!
