Each year, the Honors and Awards in Bearcat Excellence event honors undergraduate students for their exceptional efforts in the community outside the classroom. The Awards (for any undergraduate student) and the Senior Certificates and Keys (for seniors) are awarded from nominations received by the whole Willamette University community. The nominations are reviewed by a committee of students, staff and faculty and awarded in a reception in April.
In addition to reviewing nomination forms and making award recommendations, committee members will participate in some supportive activities including drafting nomination forms, event planning, and hosting for the ceremony Thursday, April 11, 2024. Total time commitment will be approximately 10-15 hours spread out before the event as well as attendance at the event.
We encourage anyone interested in participating or with questions to email honors-awards-group@willamette.edu. We hope to have our first committee meeting in January.
