The 2011 Senior Assignment Showcase was held on Tuesday, April 19, from 2-4 p.m. in Morris University Center. More than 100 seniors presented their work, representing 35 different departments and programs.
A reception was held directly after the showcase to recognize and congratulate seniors who participated in the showcase and seniors who received the Senior Standout award.
The Senior Standout award pays tribute to students who have excelled in academic achievement and have made significant contributions to campus leadership and service. Senior Standout students are nominated by faculty and staff across the university. Fifteen students received this prestigious award and were honored at the reception.
