The Outstanding Student Award recipients selected by the department for Fall 2021 were:

Most of the students recognized are from the New River Valley or currently live and work there, utilizing the skills of their majors in their current employment or seeking to do so.

“We recognize those among us … who have given extra and are to be rewarded for a job well done,” Bhadury told the viewers and award winners. 

“We really are recognizing the heart and soul of the Davis College of Business and Economics.”
