Each May and December, the OPWL faculty reviews the list of individuals graduating from the OPWL master’s degree program during the preceding semester and selects an individual to receive the “Outstanding Graduate Award.” Selection for this award is based on the individual’s earned GPA, performance on the portfolio defense, and contributions made to the OPWL community, both inside and outside of the classroom. For May 2016 the Outstanding Graduate was Ieva Swanson. Please join us in congratulating Ieva for her achievements.
