Congratulations to BBA's 2021-22 Academic Awards Recipients

5/26/2022

Last week Burr and Burton honored the 2021-22 academic awards recipients with a ceremony and breakfast in Founders Hall. "The more you give, the higher you fly," said Mr. Tashjian, and each of these honorees has both given and accomplished so much.

Associate Head of School Meg Kenny framed the accomplishment for students: "A BBA education is about nurturing the passions, skills, needs, interests and curiosity in each and every student. Today I encourage you to celebrate you -- celebrate your own learning by reflecting on the successes and challenges you encountered as you developed understandings, strengthened skills, nurtured passions, set goals, made connections and created inspired demonstrations of your learning."

Congratulations to our 2021-22 Academic Award recipients; we are so proud of you!
