Cecilia Culver, who earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Statistics in Fall 2024, has received the CCAS Distinguished Scholar Award. Cecilia has an outstanding academic record with a 4.0 overall GPA and 4.0 major GPA. The Economics Department has an accomplished group of graduating seniors this academic year, but Cecilia stood out because of her extensive academic research experience outside of GW. Cecilia's talent and hard work was recognized by the Economics Department when her proseminar paper was nominated for the Hsieh Prize during the 2023-2024 academic year. She was also commended by researchers at the Federal Reserve and received the Excellence Award from the Fed for work she did as an intern in the Large Institution Supervision Coordinating Committee's Resolution and Recovery Planning program. Cecilia is in every way a distinguished scholar and deserving of this award.
As Distinguished Scholar, Cecilia will represent the graduating class as the student speaker at the CCAS Graduation Celebration, on Saturday, May 17th.
