76th Annual Honors Day | April 20, 2024
About Honors Day
Introduced in 1948 and celebrated every year since, Honors Day recognizes the accomplishments of the highest achieving students at The University of Texas at Austin — those who, by meeting competitive criteria, have earned their distinction as College Scholars or Distinguished College Scholars.
The deepest purpose of the university is to unlock the potential of our students. Honors Day is an opportunity to celebrate those students who not only reached their potential but surpassed it — elevating themselves to the very highest levels of academic accomplishment.
2024 Honors Day Program | April 20, 6 p.m., The Moody Center
Student honorees and their guests gather to celebrate their achievements at a university-wide ceremony. Hosted by President Hartzell, the ceremony takes place at the Moody Center on the UT Austin campus. Students were invited to attend via an email invitation from President Hartzell sent on Monday, March 4 to the preferred email in their official record with the University.

Each scholar who attends the ceremony receives a set of honors cords that can be worn with academic regalia at Commencement. Distinguished College Scholars are awarded a medallion onstage during the ceremony.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate the scholar in their lives. No registration or tickets are needed for guests.
In keeping with tradition, the UT Tower will be lit orange on Saturday, April 20, to celebrate the 2024 College and Distinguished College Scholars.
