The Honors College Dean’s Prize recognizes outstanding honors inquiry and highlights this work as a model of academic excellence in honors. Each recipient will receive $500, thanks to our generous donors: Delbridge Narron, Murray Webster, and Harry Creemers. We also appreciate both the committee of Honors Faculty who selected these capstones – Lance Barton, Jim Frakes, and Jaclyn Piatak – from many strong nominations from honors program directors, as well as the Honors Faculty who mentored these students. Get to know these outstanding Niners and their research.
Watch the Dean’s Prize Award Ceremony (which includes a presentation by each winner of their research):
Please contact Dr. Cindy Gilson (cgilson@charlotte.edu) if you would like access to any of the student’s capstone projects.
