The 2018 Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented as part of our inaugural
CHSS Celebration of Achievement held on Wednesday, October 10 at the Country Club of Fairfax. As you read about the achievements of these alumni, we are reminded of the broad areas of study that encompass our college. These individuals exemplify the adaptability of a humanities and social sciences education and they are taking an active role towards confronting essential questions and problems in our society.
