Business seniors are being recognized for their scholarly performance and personal achievement both in the classroom and the community at this year’s Senior Awards Ceremony.

The Leavey School of Business celebrates its outstanding students at the annual Senior Awards Ceremony. The ceremony, taking place this year on June 16, recognizes those graduating seniors who have received special awards for outstanding achievements in their academic work or service to the community, who have demonstrated scholarly performance and personal integrity of a higher order, and who have achieved accomplishments of both talent and motivation. In the classroom and in the community they have established themselves in leadership roles, and their influence on their peers, on the faculty, and on the entire university has been an inspiration.

Congratulations to these 2017 student scholars!
