Honors Day Ceremony - Kohei Miyazaki from Japan

Hello. My name is Kohei. I am a senior student at Murray State. I am studying economics and mathematics. Today, I am going to talk about the 2016 Honors Day ceremony, which I attended as a recipient of Outstanding Senior in Economics Award 2016.

The Honors Day ceremony acknowledges outstanding undergraduate students’ performance as scholars and each of the students were given stage recognition. Recognition is based upon academic achievement and leadership in departmental and university affairs. I was selected to be a recipient of this award by the economics department and received the award from Dr. David Eaton, the department chair, at the ceremony. Each academic department may honor one up to three students. This is a very honorable award that I will proudly be able to tell my future employers about.


I think that this is an excellent opportunity for students who have done hard work to be recognized. This was my first time at college to be awarded on stage and I was very honored to receive the award. This opportunity is open to both U.S. students and international students, so anyone, regardless of where you are from, has a chance to be selected as an honoree. If your family is back in your home country, to be recognized at the Honors Day ceremony is a great way to show them your hard work at Murray State!
