Citation Awards
For Students who matriculated in Fall 2007
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.
