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. Students have graduated in summer or fall 2024 or will graduate in May 2025.

The Spring Awards Dinner to recognize this group of high achieving students, was held April 10, in the O’Reilly Auto Parts Grand Atrium of Glass Hall. Congratulations to each of the students!
