We are honored to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating McDonnell Scholars at the 2025 Recognition Ceremony on May 13—a remarkable group of WashU students representing a wide range of disciplines and global perspectives.
We are pleased to welcome Bianca Hall, Director of Human Resources at Nestlé Purina, as our featured speaker. Her message will inspire Scholars to lead with purpose, resilience, and a global mindset.
As part of the program, we will recognize 10 recipients of the McDonnell Scholar Engagement Award, celebrating their outstanding participation, leadership, and commitment to fostering a strong, connected community within WashU’s McDonnell Academy. Award recipients will be selected through a live drawing during the ceremony.
Congratulations to all of our graduates and award recipients, and thank you to everyone who makes this celebration a meaningful tribute to scholarship, leadership, and community.
