Hosted and organized by University Honors Student Board, the inaugural UH Celebration marks the conclusion of the academic year. Whilst 2020-21 has been a year like no other, we have so much to celebrate. To each and every one of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni that have made this year great: thank you for tuning into this video event, and good luck with finals!
We hope that this virtual event will be the start of a new end-of-year tradition in the University Honors program.

I think developing those skills and seeing the world with that context allows us to better understand what we want to do in life and, for me, better prioritize those things in the proper manner.
Outstanding Student Award Address
Student Leader Recognition
We thank you for all of your hard work throughout this unprecedented time, the UH staff and I are appreciative of everything you’ve been able to accomplish this year.
Congratulations to all of UH’s Spring 2021 Honors Citation recipients!
My favorite memory from this year was being able to meet different students from different houses at a UH seminar. So I’m definitely looking forward to being able to attend these events in person next semester!

And the winning house is …

Next year marks a bit of a new beginning for our program, and with it comes the opportunity to offer some very new and exciting traditions. These traditions will only be as strong as the student body’s commitment and buy-in.
