At the end of each academic year, Castleton students, faculty, and staff are honored for their achievements at the Castleton Awards Ceremony. This year because of the Novel Conoravirus, the traditional Awards Ceremony didn't happen, but as always we celebrate the achievements of student success in academics, athletics, student life and more.
