The Arkansas Alumni Association is proud to announce the 2017 Class of Razorback Classics.

These students were selected as the top 11 male or female graduating students at the University of Arkansas. This is the pinnacle of the Arkansas Alumni Association awards program that started in the fall with hundreds of nominations. The selection committee of over 100 alumni and administrators judged each applicant based on academic excellence, leadership and campus or community involvement. This award looks at the entire student experience, said Ryan Miller, associate director for student and young alumni outreach. Seventy-one graduating seniors were selected in the fall as the Class of 2017 Seniors of Significance. These students resubmitted their applications this spring and these 22 students rose to the top as this year's Razorback Classics.

This year's class of winners includes representatives from every college on campus. Additionally, 15 awardees are members of the Honors College. Arkansans also make up the majority of the recipients with 16 students hailing from the state. Other states represented include Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

The 22 students will be recognized at the Cardinal & White Banquet on May 4 in Boyer Hall of the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House. During this dinner and ceremony, each recipient and mentor will be honored. The mentors are any current faculty or staff members that have made an impact on the students. Each applicant selects a mentor when he or she applies, Miller said. All of the Razorback Classics recipients will be featured in the Razorback Yearbook and Arkansas magazine.

Additionally, the top two seniors on campus will be announced at the conclusion of the banquet by Chancellor Joe Steinmetz as the 2017 Senior Honor Citations. The Senior Honor Citation winners will receive a life membership, permanent recognition on a plaque at the alumni house and are invited back to represent their class at events, including speaking at their Senior Walk Dedication. Guests at the Cardinal & White Banquet will include the parents of the honorees and the Arkansas Alumni Association Board of Directors.
