COB Dean’s Award
Each spring semester, the university hosts an award process for a Dean’s Award from each academic college. Students with:
- with high academic standing,
- who have a graduation date during that current academic year (Fall, Spring or Summer) and
- who will be graduating with honors,
are eligible to apply for this prestigious award. Applicants are judged not only on their excellent academic achievements, but also by their contributions to the campus and community and obstacles faced and overcome on their path to a college degree. One student is selected to receive the campus-wide President’s Medal for that academic year.
