Each spring the faculty of our department choose a graduating Communication Studies major to win the “Outstanding Student in Communication Studies” award. The award is determined first by grade point average: we look for the highest major GPA and highest cumulative GPA. Then we look at the student to make sure that the title “Outstanding Student” is fitting. This is the highest honor our department bestows. This year, we couldn’t choose just one. So, this past Monday (at our very successful Alumni Speaker and Graduation Celebration event!) we recognized four students as the “Outstanding Students in Communication Studies” for the 2010-2011 academic year.
Congratulations to Teresa Garcia, Sarah Hirsch, Abbey Lee, and Addysen Trumper! Each of these students is truly outstanding. They excel inside the classroom, but what is especially impressive about this year’s winners is that they each excel outside of the classroom as well. They are involved in our department, the campus, and the larger community. We are so proud of each of you and your accomplishments!
