Twenty students from across academic disciplines at Stony Brook this year will receive the Provost’s Award for Academic Excellence.
The award is given annually to a select group of graduating seniors who have demonstrated academic excellence in the classroom as well as through research and creative activities, or through building a stronger academic community on campus.
“I’m deeply impressed by each of these students and their consistent hard work and dedication to their studies,” said Carl W. Lejuez, executive vice provost for academic affairs and provost. “Stony Brook is the state’s top public university and a flagship not only because of our incredible faculty and research, but also because our students are some of the best around.”
The award is given by the Office of the Provost and the Division of Undergraduate Education.
“Of course we’re proud of all of our graduates, and we are especially proud of students like these who have made such a difference on our campus and in our community,” said Rachelle Germana, senior associate provost for undergraduate education. “I’m delighted to be able to recognize these students as they prepare to graduate and take their next steps in life.”
