Rockhurst University | Learning, Leadership and Service in the Jesuit Tradition

The annual spring Festival of Student Achievement recognizes students, staff, and faculty who exemplify the qualities and excellence of learning, leadership, service, and the Jesuit philosophy of men and women for others. The Festival of Student Achievement celebrates the significant achievements of students who have created, written, or performed a work recognized by instructors or an extra-campus organization for excellence.
