The University of Wyoming’s College of Arts and Sciences will honor 20 students for its 2019 class of Outstanding Graduates.

Since 1991, the college has annually recognized students ready to graduate who have achieved success inside and outside of the classroom during their academic careers. Honorees are nominated by one of the college’s 21 academic units and are recognized at a luncheon in May. At the luncheon, each is presented with a medallion to wear with his or her cap and gown at commencement.

The college will host its 2019 spring commencement ceremony Saturday, May 18, at 3:30 p.m. in UW’s Arena-Auditorium.

“We are proud of the 2019 class of Arts and Sciences Outstanding Graduates,” Dean Paula Lutz says. “They have achieved this distinction by excelling in their academic majors and participating in a variety of outside activities that benefit the campus and community. We are excited to send them on to the next phase of life and career. We know they will make us proud.”
