We are proud to highlight students from across the College who have made a meaningful impact through their studies and their dedication to the community.
Each year, the College of Arts and Sciences honors students who go beyond expectations, demonstrating deep commitment to their academic disciplines. These students apply what they’ve learned through active involvement in honor societies, student organizations and service to Spokane’s nonprofit community.
