Students Receive Awards, Prizes, Scholarships
|
More than 240 Wesleyan students received
accolades and formal recognition during the 2005 Academic Awards, Prizes and
Scholarships program May 3 in the Russell House.
“These are honor students who represent the highest ideals of Wesleyan
University: intellectual curiosity, academic excellence, creative
expression, leadership and service,” says Peter Patton, interim dean of the
college, vice president and secretary of the university and professor of
earth and environmental sciences.
Students were honored for excellence in astronomy, music composition,
biology, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, mathematics,
history, film, women studies and computer science, among other subjects.
Others earned awards for demonstrating outstanding leadership, special
aptitude in the history or art, debating and public-spirited citizenship.
While celebrating these recipients of awards, prizes and scholarships,
Patton also honored and thanked alumni and friends for their generous
contributions and gifts. Several awards are the result of legacies of
alumni, administrators, faculty and friends whose lives and work are honored
through endowed gifts.
