2020 Human Biology Award Recipients

Opening Image of 2020 Awards Ceremony

The annual HumBio Awards Ceremony brought the community together to honor a group of stellar juniors and seniors. The event was not only attended by our talented students and HumBio faculty and staff, but also by family members across the country and some of the wonderful family members of those in whose honor some of our awards were created.

The students honored met rigorous academic standards and were also commended for their perseverance, hard work, and dedication, their contagious enthusiasm and engagement, and their passion and commitment to public service. Congratulations to all of our award recipients! We are so proud of you and cannot wait to see what you continue to accomplish in the future.
