This celebration of student excellence, in and out of the classroom, is an end-of-semester tradition at New Paltz, as the campus community gathers to honor the hard work, talent and dedication of graduating students as they prepare to advance to the next phase of their lives and careers.

The ceremony convenes representatives of all five of New Paltz’s schools – the School of Business, School of Education, School of Fine and Performing Arts, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Science and Engineering – for an event that pays tribute to exemplary scholarship across the disciplines. 

Outstanding Graduates are students who have gone above and beyond as scholars and leaders in the classroom, and also in independent research experiences, engagement with clubs and honor societies, conference attendance and presentations, internships, jobs, and other co-curricular activities. They are nominated by faculty mentors who have played a key role in supporting their intellectual and creative ambitions.
