Eleven University of Rhode Island graduating seniors and two graduate students were honored for their academic and community achievements at the University's 24th annual Black Scholar Awards. Established in 1998 by Donald Cunnigen, URI professor of sociology and anthropology, the awards recognize African-American students for their outstanding achievements in leadership, community involvement, academic achievement, and athletic achievement.
The Black Scholar Awards were the first and only awards program in the University's history founded with the primary objective to acknowledge the diverse achievements and contributions of students of African descent. Since its founding, the program has recognized hundreds of students who have made outstanding contributions to the University, state, and nation.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, students receiving awards were honored during a virtual ceremony coordinated by Earl N. Smith, III, assistant dean of student affairs for the College of Arts and Sciences; Christopher Hunter, associate professor of civil engineering; and Yvette Harps Logan, retired associate professor of textiles, fashion merchandising and design. The awards program also recognized members of the Rhode Island Onyx Senior Honor Society. Its annual induction ceremony honors graduating seniors of African descent who achieve 3.30 or higher grade point averages.
