Ohio University’s College of Health Sciences and Professions proudly announced its 2021 Outstanding Graduate Award recipients during a virtual event on April 28.
Recipients were recognized for their contributions and accomplishments during the 2020-21 school year; 31 individuals were recognized with honors during the event.
“The past year has challenged each of us, and the world, in so many ways. Yet, I've seen our students, faculty and staff continually adapt and find opportunities to move forward together,” Interim College of Health Sciences and Professions Dean Dr. John McCarthy said. “Our students’ creativity, perseverance and volunteerism during one of the most unprecedented periods in our world’s history has not only revealed the quality of their individual character – but also served notice that our collective futures are in good hands with this next generation of healthcare providers.”
A complete list of student awardees is available below and online ; a recorded recap of the evening’s events is also available.
