This year’s Undergraduate Awards Ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 2, 2024 at 5 p.m. The event will be hosted under the large tent on Valentine Quadrangle. All are welcome, and regalia is not required. A reception will take place in the tent following the conclusion of the ceremony. For those who are unable to join on campus, the event will be live streamed to amherst.edu/go/webcast.
The Undergraduate Awards recognize the outstanding work of first-years, sophomores, and juniors throughout the year. Prizes are awarded in various areas of study, as well as for scholarship and citizenship. The majority of awards are named in honor of notable alumni and faculty, whose enduring legacies continue to shape the College today.
An annual awards ceremony for graduating seniors, known as Senior Assembly, is held separately.
