Every year, the School of Business Administration celebrates the best and brightest students during the annual Honors Day Celebration, this year, 20 of our top undergraduate and graduate students received awards.
“I’m honored and stoked to get this recognition,” said Hailey Ronconi, who received the Christopher A. Guido Outstanding Senior Award for Academic Excellence and Overall Achievement.
Ronconi already has a full schedule and impressive resume, while still completing her undergraduate requirements as a senior.
She is the recipient of numerous scholarships including the Presidential Scholarship, Grinnell Business Scholarship and the Emerging Business Leaders Scholarship, is the secretary of the Honors College Advisory Group, holds a full-time position at local branding company Fuse Marketing, and works for both the UVM’s Ski and Snowboard Program and UVM Club Sports.
“It’s very rewarding to be acknowledged for everything I’ve achieved, it’s very motivating,” Ronconi said.
“I am always impressed with, not only the academic achievements of our students, but the many extracurricular activities and community work in which they are involved,” said Dean Sanjay Sharma, of the School of Business Administration.
“This is such an honor,” said Mindy Yeung, a Business School Junior with a double concentration in International Business and Marketing; and a double minor in Chinese and Economics. Yeung, who is also the incoming President of the School of Business Student Advisory Council, Chief of Staff teaching assistant for Business Enterprise (BSAD 10), a member of the UVM Student Academic Integrity Council, a student ambassador for UVM’s Family Enterprise Case Competition, Alternative Spring Break volunteer and Director of Social Enrichment of Alpha Delta Pi, received the Outstanding Junior Award for Academic Excellence and Overall Achievement.
