Each spring the College of Business (COB) leadership team including the Dean, Associate Deans, Department Heads and faculty select recipients for the top honors in the college.  Students are selected for awards from a variety of criteria including academic achievement, dedication to the public affairs mission, dedication inside and outside of the classroom, and some awards require a personal essay.  Students have graduated in summer or fall 2017 or will graduate in May 2018.

The Spring Awards Dinner to recognize this group of high achieving students, was held April 26, in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Grand Atrium of Glass Hall.  Members of the COB Executive Advisory Council were in town for their bi-annual meeting and participated in the awards dinner.   Congratulations to each of the students!
