Two LS students have been recently recognized by the College of Science and Mathematics for their outstanding accomplishments. Congratulations to our 2019-20 award winners!

Academic Excellence Award

Congratulations to Vanessa Lamoureux, the recipient of the CSM Academic Excellence Award for Liberal Studies. GPA is the major consideration for this award, as well as additional criteria such as service or scholarly initiative.

Ms. Lamoureux graduated from the Liberal Studies program in Spring 2020. For the last three years of her career at Cal Poly, she was a Student Assistant for the Liberal Studies department, and also served as an Instructional Student Assistant for various professors and departments around campus. She is currently getting her teaching credential and Master's in Teaching at UC Santa Barbara. Way to go, Vanessa!

Outstanding Citizenship Award

Congratulations to Elisabeth Marciano, the recipient of the CSM Outstanding Citizenship Award for Liberal Studies. Special attention is given to the graduating student who met multiple award criteria and also made an outstanding contribution to the community as a whole.  

Ms. Marciano graduated from the Liberal Studies program in Winter 2020. She worked as a tutor for LS students in the Math series for the entirety of the last school year. She is on track to get her teaching credential and bilingual authorization at Cal Poly next year, and will then continue and get a Master’s in Education. Good job, Ellie!
