Take a bow: BW celebrates 2019-20 student achievement

Each spring, BW honors and celebrates student achievement for the academic year.

Throughout 2019-20, in and out of the classroom, from first-year students to graduating seniors, the BW learning community produced noteworthy work.

While the University wasn't able to applaud most of these accomplishments in person as is customary at the culmination of the spring semester, the following students earned major recognition in a variety of areas from service to leadership, academic scholarship to research, artistic performance to athletic competition.
