their various disciplines, and to students who give outstanding service to the college
through student government and other student activities. The Faculty Committee on
Awards administers the annual Awards Program. The Awards Ceremony is part of the two-day
Commencement Exercises at Kingsborough and is usually held the evening before the
Commencement Day in June. Families and friends of the awardees are invited to the
annual Awards Ceremony to share in the celebration of the students' success.
