The CDS Awards for Academic Excellence recognize students—both undergraduate and graduate—who have gone beyond high marks to demonstrate intellectual curiosity, collaborative spirit, and leadership in the classroom. These recipients embody what it means to be a scholar and a citizen of our learning community.

The CDS Service & Community Awards are presented to students who have made a significant impact on the life of CDS through their dedication to service, peer support, and community-building. Their leadership has helped shape the inclusive, vibrant culture that defines our faculty.
