An awards ceremony for many of UCSC's academically outstanding undergraduates closed the campus's first Student Academic Achievement Week earlier this month. The University House ceremony honored students who had won a number of awards, including Phi Beta Kappa, the Irwin Scholarship, the Thimann Awards, the Goldwater and Donald A. Strauss scholarships, Dean's and Chancellor's awards, and the Steck Award.

Participants in the ceremony included Chancellor Greenwood, Executive Vice Chancellor John Simpson, Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education Lynda Goff, Vice Chancellor Francisco J. Hernandez, and the deans of UCSC's four academic divisions: Martin Chemers, Division of Social Sciences; Jorge Hankamer, Division of Humanities; Edward Houghton, Division of Arts; and David Kliger, Division of Natural Sciences. More than 200 people, including award winners, their family and friends, and faculty sponsors, attended the event.

Pictured above are some of the students--out of hundreds recognized for academic excellence this year--who were honored at the ceremony.
