2025 Latin honors recipients
Each spring, a small group of environmental design students defend their theses to a dedicated thesis committee. Students are awarded Latin honors at the levels of cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude.
Projects worthy of the honors designation are works of creative expression, including design, research, and theoretical work that demonstrate a high level of intellectual and creative ability and analytical skills. Completing an honors project allows students to investigate topics of interest, provides the opportunity to work closely with a faculty thesis chair, and creates a culminating intellectual experience that produces both a meaningful project and an invaluable learning experience. The Honors project represents the climax of their college careers.
