The Honors College is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our graduating students at this year’s Honors College Degree Recognition Ceremony — a private, invitation-only event designed to honor their hard work and dedication.

New This Year: The Honors Medallion

This year’s celebration marks an exciting kickoff to the graduation season. We are thrilled to introduce the Honors Medallion, custom-designed by Honors student Aspen Delis of the Honors Student Advisory Committee (HSAC), as a meaningful alternative to the traditional cord. The medallion represents the remarkable dedication and accomplishments of Honors graduates throughout their time at the U.

Ceremony Highlights

The ceremony will feature inspiring remarks from Honors College Dean Pasupathi, senior class speaker Hanna Farra, and Melissa Watt, last year’s Sweet Candy Professor. Distinguished University of Utah leaders, along with Honors faculty and staff, will also be in attendance to celebrate this meaningful milestone.
