Dean's Cup and the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA)

Each Spring semester, the College Deans recruit graduating seniors from their colleges to take the CLA exam as part of an academic competition known as the "Deans' Cup."  The winning team - the one with the highest average score - wins a trophy and bragging rights.  The high scorer wins the grand prize: $500.

The current College champion is the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences.

There were two grand prize winners last year: Brandon Heck of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Jacob Fender of Humanities and Fine Arts, who tied for top score!
