What is Scholars of Distinction?

Scholars of Distinction is an annual event to showcase to the university community the accomplishments of HEOP and SSS 3rd and 4th year students, as well as inspire our 1st and 2nd year students by showing them what is possible to achieve while studying a Syracuse University.  Presentation categories include: Campus Involvement/Community Service, Research, Study Abroad, Design/Creativity/The Arts, Internships/Summer Jobs, Social Justice/Activism/Civic Engagement, and this year we’ve added Creative Problem Solving in a Virtual World.
