Dean's Medalists



The Dean's Medalists are outstanding graduating seniors from each COSAM department or program. Students are selected by faculty within their department or program, and selection is based on academic performance, character, and potential.

Recipients have an 8x10 photograph featured in the hallway to the Dean's Suite during the year after their selection. Each Dean's Medalist receives their medal embedded in an engraved plaque and a book selected by COSAM faculty.
