Mansfield University recognizes their Outstanding Students for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Each spring semester, academic departments are invited to recognize the achievements of their outstanding students at our Academic Honors Reception. This year, departments were invited to recognize their outstanding first-year student, their outstanding sophomore, their outstanding junior, and their nominee for the outstanding senior award. We usually hold this event in mid-April; unfortunately, we were unable to have such a gathering this year for public health reasons, and the students received their certificates of recognition through the mail rather than in person. Although we were unable to hold our Academic Honors Reception this year, we certainly extend our congratulations to all of our outstanding students for a job well done, especially given the difficult circumstances this past semester. We are proud of their accomplishments, and we honor their outstanding achievements as Mansfield University students.
