Prestigious Graduate Accolades Honored
In a celebration of academic excellence and artistic talent, the annual Outstanding Graduate Awards were presented to a select group of graduating students at [Your Institution]. These awards, which honour both in-class achievements and contributions to the wider community, serve to identify and recognise the future stars of the design world.
The recipients of this year's awards were carefully selected by faculty and staff, with the criteria for Outstanding Graduate Awards in design programs typically focusing on academic excellence, artistic or design talent, leadership qualities, contributions to research or creative projects, and impact in their field.
The 2021-22 Outstanding Graduate Awards were bestowed upon students from various programs, including Graphic Design, Web Design, Illustration, Digital Media, and Digital Photography. Among the winners were Kylie Welsh, who received the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design award, and Dhani Mouttet, who took home the Graphic Design Advanced Certificate award.
In the Illustration programme, Adrienne Schaumann, Deborah Lefever, and Kristy Ren-Hayzlett each won an Associate of Occupational Studies in Illustration award, while John Olson was the recipient of the Associate of Occupational Studies in Digital Media award. Ronald Graham was honoured with the Undergraduate Certificate in Digital Photography award.
Angelique Shipley was another deserving winner, taking home the Undergraduate Certificate in Web Design award. The selection committee also recognised the achievements of Boris Margolin, Felicia Kieselhorst, Fiorella Shalat, Tamara Pavlock, and Kristen Becker, all of whom were involved in the award process.
The goal of these awards is twofold: to identify talents that will shine brightly in the design world and to inspire graduates to push forward in their careers, as well as to motivate current students to excel in their classes. The awards can also help recipients in their future career, providing a valuable boost to their professional portfolio.
Each recipient must have an excellent academic record and a strong graduating portfolio of work. Additionally, recipients must have distinguished themselves in their overall participation in their classes and/or made other notable contributions to the institution community.
These awards serve as a testament to the dedication, talent, and passion of the students at [Your Institution], and they look forward to following the successful careers of these outstanding graduates in the years to come. For those interested in learning more about the specific criteria for the Outstanding Graduate Awards in the design program at [Your Institution], it is recommended to visit the graduate studies or design department website, or to contact the relevant academic office, as the details vary widely by school and program.
Graphic design played a significant role in this year's Outstanding Graduate Awards, with Kylie Welsh and Dhani Mouttet receiving accolades in this field. Furthermore, the education-and-self-development aspect of these awards is evident, as winning students are encouraged to continue excelling and boost their professional portfolios in the lifestyle sector of graphic design.
