The department recognized 11 seniors and one junior with departmental awards based on their individual achievements within the fields of research, fieldwork, internships, leadership, GPA, and service.
Alexandra Sierer of Hummelstown, a member of the Class of 2024, was one of two students who received the Psi Chi Model Student Award for upholding and exemplifying Psi Chi's twin ideals of scholarship and service.

She is a Board of Governors Scholarship recipient, has been named to the dean's list and won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Scholar - Athlete Award.
