Congratulations to the 2021-2022 Student Awards Recipients
Please join us in congratulating this year's Student Awards recipients! Selected by each of our departments, these awards are an annual tradition in the Darden College of Education and Professional Studies aimed at recognizing outstanding students for their academic achievement, service to the community, the college, and the university.
"I want to express my sincere congratulations to each of our award recipients. It goes almost without saying that these past several years have been incredibly tough. It is important now to reflect and acknowledge the hard work our students have put into their educational pursuits. A significant highlight of my role has been to witness the passion, drive, commitment, and the hurdles our students have had to overcome. I am so proud of each of you," shared interim dean Tammi Dice.
