Outstanding Senior Recognition Fall 2023

The Outstanding Senior Recognition honors graduating seniors who have made significant contributions to Texas A&M University-San Antonio through academic achievement, campus leadership, involvement, community service, honors, and awards. To be considered, a student must first be nominated by a faculty, staff, student, or alumnus. The Outstanding Senior Award Committee reviews applications from the nominated students, and a select few are invited for interviews with the committee; ultimately, the committee selects the outstanding seniors.

The committee then reviews those selected as Outstanding Seniors, and one individual from among all the Outstanding Seniors is named our Senior of Distinction. The Senior of Distinction Medal is a monetary award. 

Winners of Outstanding Senior Fall 2023:

  • Lopez, Erika
  • Martinez, Selena
  • Moreno, Miranda
  • Walik, Michael
  • Villegas, Gabriella

The Senior of Distinction is awarded to the Outstanding Senior who has shown courage and service above self and has made significant contributions to A&M-San Antonio through academic achievement, campus leadership and involvement, community service, honors, and awards embodying the Jaguar Spirit.
