It’s a week away from CSU Bakersfield’s graduation ceremony which means it’s academic award season. Students within the School of Arts and Humanities who impressed faculty members will be honored with awards.

On Wednesday June 1, at 6:00 p.m., the School of Arts & Humanities will host an honors ceremony in the Walter Stiern Library Dezember Reading Room that will present students with awards for their academics, projects and behavior.

The big honor of the night will be the Outstanding Student of Arts and Humanities award that will be revealed that night.

“There will be an outstanding graduate of the school selected from all of the outstanding graduates of the programs,” said Mandy Rees the Chair of the Music and Theater Department.

There are four sections of honors that will be awarded to students on top of the Outstanding Student of Arts and Humanities: Departmental Awards of Excellence, Departmental Outstanding MA Graduates, Departmental Outstanding BA Graduates and Dean’s Awards.

“I nominated two seniors, and both are receiving an award,” said Steve Campagna-Pinto professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies “One because of academic excellence, and the other because of CSUB community and public service combined with academic excellence.”

Out of all the Outstanding Student award winners one student will get the award of overall Outstanding Student of Arts and Humanities Award.
