LAS graduates named to Bronze Tablet

Some 108 graduating seniors from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences have been named to the 2021 Bronze Tablet list, honoring academic achievement.

Each year, the Bronze Tablet is inscribed with the names of new graduates and placed in the Main Library. To achieve this honor, undergraduate students must rank at the top 3 percent of each college’s graduating class and must have a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.5.

The first Bronze Tablet was created in 1925, with 14 names.
