The Department of Philosophy celebrated the achievements of our students and faculty at our annual awards ceremony. We had an in-person celebration in Savery Hall June 5th, 2025, and were thrilled to celebrate our award winners’ accomplishments together. Our heartfelt tradition of sharing personal anecdotes about each recipient continued, to the delight of family, friends, and classmates.
We are proud of the accomplishments of all our department members and look forward to seeing what they achieve in the future.
