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.  Recipients may be members of the summer or fall 2021 graduating classes, or our most recent group of May 2022 graduates.

Congratulations to each of these #BearGrads!
