Senior Celebration

Each spring, the Westhampton College Dean's Office and the University of Richmond Alumni Association hold an annual dinner for the senior class, to celebrate their forthcoming graduation. A variety of awards are given, based on nominations from the university community, including their peers, faculty, and staff. Faculty and staff mentors are invited to the dinner so that we can honor their contributions to each student and the College community. Senior Celebration emerged out of the College's historical May Day events, which began in the first year of the College, 1914-15.

Award Nominations

We are seeking nominations for awards that Westhampton College gives out annually to seniors, some to Westhampton students only and others to students in both Colleges. If the award is open to both colleges, that is indicated after the name of the award in the list below. These awards celebrate many different parts of student life, work, and achievements, representing our student community in its fullness, and we encourage you to nominate students for one, for some, or for all! To submit your nomination(s), please fill out the form below. 

Please pay close attention to the award description and use your nomination statement to explain why each individual is deserving of that specific award. These statements need not be lengthy, but they should be detailed. One sentence is not enough, but a few sentences can be. We can only consider nominations that provide enough detail for the committee to evaluate the nominee. Please note that a student may be nominated for several awards but those nominations should be submitted individually.

Nominations for the Class of 2025 are now closed.
