Honoring our students’ outstanding work.
Each spring the Hiram College community gathers to honor all that our students have accomplished throughout the year. Various departments hold picnics, barbecues and award presentations to recognize and celebrate the work they have done. The festivities culminate in the campus-wide Honors Convocation, where we continue the tradition of handing out some of our community’s most prestigious awards.
