The Huntington 100 recognizes students who have recorded achievements in research, co-op, athletics, entrepreneurship, community service, and leadership.
Each year, hundreds of students are nominated by faculty, staff, advisors, coaches, employers, and fellow students. They are selected by a panel of judges that is comprised of representatives from each college, the Division of Student Affairs, and the Office of Alumni Relations. This year’s class was chosen from a field of 750 students.
