Academic Awards
Celebrating Excellence and Impact
Each year the College of Arts & Sciences recognizes the exemplary work of students across the College. These students go beyond expectations to demonstrate their commitment to these disciplines. Many of them are double and triple majors with multiple minors; they’re members of honor societies, they participate in student organizations applying what they’ve learned through their coursework. These exemplary students also give back to the greater Spokane community by volunteering with local nonprofits.
Students and faculty receiving academic achievement awards were honored on Friday, May 9, 2025, at the Student Academic Achievement Awards. For a full list of student and faculty awards, as well as the event program and video, please visit the Academic Honors and Magis Student Achievement Awards page.
