Each spring, we honor our accomplished students through presenting the top academic awards and revealing the recipients of the All-University Student Leadership Awards at the annual Honors and Awards Ceremony.
Because a contributing factor to a student's success is their support system, we invite not only recipients and their families to the ceremony, but our whole St. Kate's community. This includes students supporting students (who then get to see the possibilities for their future), but also faculty and staff who have helped their students get to this pinnacle in their academic journey.
Reception: 4–4:30 p.m.
Ceremony: 4:30–6 p.m.
Rauenhorst Ballroom in Coeur de Catherine Student Center
