糖心影视

Though this year鈥檚 traditional Honors Convocation ceremony could not be held in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the outstanding academic achievements of 糖心影视 students are not going unrecognized. Instead, their accomplishments 鈥� from national merit scholarships and fellowships to departmental awards 鈥� .

糖心影视 faculty chose the 2019-20 academic year departmental prize winners from an impressive field of candidates and wrote individualized statements about each award recipient.

鈥淥ne of my favorite occupations each year is reviewing these citations prepared by faculty,鈥� said Ron Seyb, associate dean of the faculty for student academic affairs. 鈥淲hile they offer arresting accounts of each student鈥檚 academic accomplishments, they also describe, often in witty and winsome ways, the qualities that distinguish each student.鈥�

These students, Seyb says, have made the transition from pupil to peer, demonstrating through their efforts and accomplishments that they are now independent learners capable of posing their own questions, choosing their own methods and drawing their own conclusions.

Here is a look at this year鈥檚 academic prize and award winners, by the numbers:

6 students earned national merit awards for the 2019-20 academic year. Erin Marie Cantor 鈥�20, Emma Fritschel 鈥�19, Derrick Trust McAllister 鈥�20 and Naomi Julia Roter 鈥�20 are recipients of Fulbright Scholarships, and Samantha Rose Abrams 鈥�19 and Christina M. Sanzari 鈥�18 are recipients in the National Science Foundation鈥檚 Graduate Research Fellowship Program. More than a dozen others were applicants, nominees or earned honorable mentions for these national awards.

10 department and program prizes and opportunity awards went to a total of 18 students. These awards are given for paper competitions, field and laboratory research, artistic projects and other creative endeavors, and they build on close faculty-student collaborative work.

72academic awards and prizes were presented, from American studies to writing prizes.
