Welcome to Recognition Ceremony 2023.

The McDonnell International Scholars Academy at Washington University in St. Louis will host its annual recognition ceremony on Tuesday, May 16, in the Charles F. Knight Center on the Danforth Campus of WashU.

Our graduating students, Scholars for Life, will give brief remarks during the ceremony and will be individually recognized as they receive their certificates.

Congratulate the Graduates!

All faculty, staff, students, families and friends of the Washington University community are invited to share video and photo messages of congratulations and support to the McDonnell Academy graduates.
