Each academic year begins with the fresh prospect of exemplary achievement, both in and out of the classroom. It is only fitting then that at the conclusion of the academic year; we convene for Honors Day, a day that provides Rockford College an opportunity to recognize the extraordinary academic and co-curricular achievements of its students - and in a few cases, its faculty.

The Honors Day celebration begins with award presentations within the three academic divisions: Arts and Humanities, Science, Mathematics, and Nursing, and Social and Behavioral Sciences and Education.  These awards are followed by the athletic and college-wide awards, and the celebration ends with the presentation of two awards that recognize excellence in teaching - by both a full-time member of the faculty and an adjunct faculty member.

We thank the donors and family members for their support of these important awards and prizes, to the faculty for your dedication to the students, and to the students, whose hard work we recognize at Honors Day.  We applaud the moms and dads, spouses, siblings and family members of the award recipients. The outstanding achievements recognized at Honors Day also represent the time, energy and support provided by the family members of our students.

There is a reception following the program in the narthex of Fisher Chapel. We invite you to stay and congratulate our award recipients.
