Each year the Beaver College of Health Sciences commemorates our students’ achievements during our spring student awards ceremony. These students were selected by the BCHS faculty through a very competitive process and represent the cornerstone of what Appalachian State University is about — academic performance and scholarship. We hope you enjoy the ceremony's video and learning a little more about these outstanding students (and their excellent faculty and staff) as you hear about some of their accomplishments and career goals.
Undergraduate Academic Awards — These students were selected based on their cumulative grade point averages, their overall academic performance and scholarship, and their high standards of academic integrity.

Undergraduate Leadership Awards —These recipients have distinguished themselves through their service to their peers, to their degree program, to the university and/or to the community.
