Dietrich College Honors Ceremony

By Shilo Rea

Nearly 170 students with majors in the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with either university or college honors—and an astounding 22 students earned both.

Undergraduates with a 3.5 or higher quality point average (QPA) received university honors and students who completed an honors thesis as part of the college’s Senior Honors Program received college honors.

“Graduating from Carnegie Mellon University is no small feat,” said Richard Scheines, dean of the Dietrich College. “Graduating with honors is meaningful.”

Associate Professor of History Lisa Tetrault, the winner of the Elliot Dunlap Smith Award for Distinguished Teaching and Educational Service, gave the keynote speech. She urged the students to think about graduation not as a destination, but a journey.

“Your diploma represents the journey and a series of skills that you will continue to build on,” Tetrault said.
