Concordia recognizes outstanding academic achievements of 2014 graduating seniors

Concordia honors graduating seniors who have outstanding academic achievements at its annual Academic Honors Reception. This year’s reception was held on Friday, May 9.

Every year, each academic department may give two or more awards, depending on the size of the department and the number of students. Each department establishes its own criteria for determining award recipients, but the criteria must, at minimum, consider the student’s grade point average, level of service to the department and level of service to Concordia Nebraska.
