June 9, 2020 LA GRANDE, Ore. – Eastern Oregon University typically holds a Student Awards Assembly on Friday afternoon before commencement. However, this year in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, awardees will be recognized during the university’s virtual conferral ceremony on June 13.
Nominating faculty members submitted brief statements describing the achievements and admirable traits of award-winning students. As graduates celebrate remotely this spring, the Student Awards Committee sought creative ways to inspire further engagement.
Award plaques were mailed to recipients, along with a personal letter from their college deans. Additionally, personalized images with each awardee’s name and accolade are available below. Students can save the images to print at home or post to social media. Graduates are encouraged to share the images and tag their peers as a means of long-distance congratulation.
