Citation Awards
For Students who matriculated in Fall 2006
Each year, College Park Scholars honors students who have successfully completed their program curriculum and made meaningful contributions to their living-learning community. These accomplishments are celebrated through the conferring of College Park Scholars Citation Awards. Some awards are identified by program directors, others are open for nominations from anyone in our Scholars community, including: faculty; administrators; members of the Cambridge Community's Resident Life staff; alumni; and students. Self-nominations are strongly encouraged.
Below are this year's awards with Web-links to the materials describing each. All nominations must be received by the deadline of July 31, 2008, with an extra two weeks provided to those who have been nominated (or self-nominated) to provide all required supplemental materials by the deadline of August 14, 2008. Information on each award and the materials needed for nomination may be found through the links below.
