The Bowen Awards
UPDATE: Due to COVID-19 concerns, the Bowen Awards have been CANCELED. If you paid for tickets using a credit card, a refund will be issued to that card. If you wrote a check, it will not be cashed.

All other awards (SST Groups of the Year, Dean’s Fellow of the Year, Student Organization of the Year, and Mentor of the Year) will be recognized at the 2021 ceremony.
We regret canceling, but your health is our primary concern.
