On April 6, 2016, Bay Path University held the fifth annual Academic Achievement Day and our 11th annual Marcia H. Conrad Awards Ceremony attended by peers, family, friends, guests.

As Dr. Melissa Morriss-Olson noted in her letter to the community, "It (AAD) is a time to recognize our community of learners and share our breadth of experiences that are at the core of what defines us as a University. But it also has a much more personal resonance—it reflects an accumulation of knowledge by each and every one of you in your field of study and from the vast body of ideas and thoughts created by humankind through the ages."

For the more than 250 students who participated and the over 55 different presentations and performances it was a great day...a Carpe Diem day!

Over 40 students were recognized for their accomplishments in and out of the classroom, community service projects, and leadership abilities.  They deserve our applause and congratulations!
