Knox College Commencement 2017
A total of 90 seniors graduated with Latin Honors (summa cum laude, magna cum laude, or cum laude). Thirteen members of the Class of 2017 earned College Honors for advanced independent study projects that were evaluated by a select committee and produced a major piece of research or creative work.
Additional student awards were announced during Commencement.
Emily Malec and Sarah Pawlicki were announced as co-winners of the John C. Weigel Prize. It is awarded to the member of the graduating class with the highest scholastic achievement. Malec is an Asian Studies major with a minor in English literature and a self-designed minor in linguistics. Pawlicki is a history major with a minor in psychology.
Dakota Stipp, a computer science major with minors in music and theatre design & technology, received the E. Inman Fox Prize. That prize is awarded to a senior whose scholarly achievement and pursuit of a truly liberal education are exceptional among peers.
