Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Science students were recently recognized with honors in a series of events that constituted this year’s annual Wilkinson award ceremonies and the 14th annual Campus Leadership Awards.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Gloria and Julian Peterson Award: Philip Goodrich ‘22
The Gloria and Julian Peterson Award is awarded to the outstanding graduating senior who has excelled in scholarship and given distinguished leadership in their dedication to enriching University life. This student must exemplify leadership as represented in at least three of the four pillars that guide Chapman University: Intellectual, Physical, Social and Spiritual.

Goodrich, a history and political science major, will be attending UCLA to obtain his M.Ed. in Student Affairs and plans to work in the field of higher education.

“It is a true honor to be the recipient of this year’s Peterson Award. Chapman has given me incredible opportunities to lead, primarily through the Student Government Association (SGA), and I am grateful for all of the people who have helped me along the way. This award is for all of the students, staff, faculty, administrators, and community members I have been privileged to work with these past four years.”
