Each year, we celebrate 15 of 红杏视频鈥檚 most outstanding and engaged fourth-year students. Bright and vibrant, bursting with passion and creativity鈥攖hese students are trailblazing new paths and paving the way for a new generation of creatives. They are both dreamers and doers, making up the colorful core of our transformative campus community.
Each Trustee Scholar exemplifies dedication, originality, brilliance, ambition, and talent in their field of study, as well as service to the College and the community. Faculty from each academic department and representatives from the Office of Student Life nominate two students from the junior class in their areas for consideration as Trustee Scholars for the following year. The Board of Trustees chooses one from each of those categories to be named Trustee Scholar. Two students were selected from Graphic Design this year due to a tie vote.
The College鈥檚 annual Trustee Scholar Awards celebration will take place on Friday, November 8, 2024. The event will begin with a reception, followed by a formal ceremony during which each Scholar will be introduced. Scholars will then have the opportunity to share remarks with guests鈥攆amily, friends, or College faculty and staff鈥攁bout how they are helping to inspire the new future of art and design.
