Students Honored for Achievements at UW-Waukesha

WAUKESHA – University of Wisconsin-Waukesha academic departments recognized the work of six students this year, conferring departmental honors at the Honors & Degree ceremony Thursday, May 21. Additionally, seven students received achievement awards for their extracurricular efforts.

Faculty within a department may nominate students to honor for academic work that has been truly outstanding in that discipline.  These awards are bestowed only when individual departments so designate; therefore, not every department gives honors each year.

            Communication & Theatre Arts:  Ryan Lamb, Waukesha
