The College of Art, Social Sciences, and Humanities (CASSH) and the School of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) announced its undergraduate recognition of excellence winners for the 2019-2020 academic year.

These top students are chosen based on their academic activities and responsibilities in their program of study, activities such as research, grants, presentations, etc., community or campus service, work or internship experiences, and honors.

Usually, students are honored at an evening of excellence event but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is no longer possible. All students honored will be featured in the CASSH/VPA bi-annual publication, “Capstone.”
