Award established by Ruth C. Grant ’37

To the senior art major who has displayed artistic excellence in any of the disciplines offered in the Art and Design Program.

Artists and designers always hope to build a community, one in which they feel heard, understood, and can do the same for others. Sean Scott is one of the “unofficial” leaders of Arcadia’s Art and Design community, always ready to help a fellow student by way of an insightful critique, a digital trick, or a hilarious comment. The latter sometimes uttered at a whisper, so be sure to listen closely. As a creative community leader, Sean is always prepared to help the university at large, as evident in both his pivotal role as designer of many of the Theater posters you have seen campus-wide over the years and that as a mentor for the students coming up through the Art and Design program. Sean is the creative voice of a generation, quick with a comment on the mixing of words and pictures, what pen is most suitable for inking, or testing your knowledge of professional wrestling.

Award established by Dr. Lessing J. Rosenwald

For excellence in art by a senior, this award was established for the late Benton Spruance, printmaker and former chair of the Art and Design Department.

Rebecca Hoyer is the heartbeat of the Arcadia Art and Design Program. Stop by the Mac Lab or the Spruance Gallery and you are sure to run into Becca assisting in an exhibition, helping a classmate, discussing a current assignment, mentoring a student, working on a lesson plan or design project. Oftentimes, doing several of these things all at once and all the while enjoying every minute of it. I cannot help but think when Arcadia first envisioned their Art and Design Program, they pictured Becca, one minute branding a pizza box or designing a card game for children, the next photographing her classmates at work in their studios, or taking a moment, however brief, to sit outside and breathe in the green, all accumulating into the design work of a professional educator and artist.

To a gifted art major who will be entering graduate school to continue studies in art.

Molly is an excellent student who has truly taken advantage of all the resources Arcadia has to offer. In addition to being an Art History major, Molly is completing two minors: one in Italian and the other in Arts Entrepreneurship and Curatorial Studies. Molly has used her passport on many Arcadia programs, including during her semester abroad in Perugia, Italy, and as part of a Global Field Study course that took her to Rome. Molly also excelled in her work as part of the Arcadia Exhibitions program, where she began working during her first year at Arcadia and in 2025, helped curate the faculty and staff show, Forward Progress.

To an undergraduate biology major who has carried out an exceptional research project and has presented the research findings at a meeting of a professional organization and/or co-authored a peer-reviewed publication.

Elizabeth Yothers is a third-year student in the Biology Department who began her research in the spring of her second year at Arcadia University. She quickly mastered primary cell culture techniques involving live sensory neurons which enabled her to continue her research project independently.

Her research investigated cytoskeletal changes following iron depletion in embryonic day 7 and day 14 chicken sensory axons. Her work raises the possibility that treatment with iron chelators during early pregnancy may disrupt microtubule stability, thereby impairing axon extension and negatively affecting normal sensory neuron development of embryos.

She presented her research at the 2025 American Society for Cell Biology Annual International Meeting, and she is a co-author on the manuscript which was recently submitted to Developmental Neurobiology in January for publication consideration.

Jared Shuter’s academic achievements, extensive clinical and research experiences, and scholarly trajectory make him an ideal recipient of the Robert L. Swaim Award. During his time at Arcadia, Jared has distinguished himself as an excellent student, having maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA throughout his college career. Jared is the recipient of numerous academic awards including the Provost’s Prize in 2024, the President’s Prize in 2025, and placement on the Dean’s Distinguished Honor List every semester since he began studies as a Biology major in 2022. Jared’s intellectual curiosity led him to seek out research opportunities in the laboratory of Dr. Sheryl Smith, where, as a first-year student, he began investigating the effects of the environmental toxicant, BPA, on lipid metabolism. Jared was recently awarded the Ellington Beavers Student Award for Intellectual Inquiry in 2025 for continuation of this work.  In preparation for medical school, Jared has pursued clinically relevant internships locally at Jefferson Abington Hospital and the Delaware State Medical Examiner’s Office, among others, and abroad with International Medical Aid in Mombasa, Kenya. As a member of the men’s ice hockey team, he has demonstrated the same discipline and determination that defines his approach to academics and research. Having been accepted to multiple medical schools for Fall 2026, Jared has already demonstrated the promise that the Robert L. Swaim Award seeks to honor.

Kate has been lecturing in the Physical Therapy program since 2007, is a graduate of Arcadia’s Transitional DPT, and is a widely respected Physical Therapist in the larger community. One student nominator mentioned that “Dr. Boyd has had a very positive impact on my learning experience, especially during lab sessions. She consistently provided helpful feedback and practical tips that made clinical skills feel more manageable and easier to remember.” Another student said, “Dr. Boyd always comes in with a smile and ready to teach. She is always empathetic and knowledgeable. You can tell she really wants her students to succeed and participate.” And, a colleague added, “Dr. Kate Boyd has done more for our program than many full-time faculty, and she has done so with heart, integrity, and joy. She is not only an exceptional educator but also a valued colleague whose influence is clearly reflected in the competence and confidence of our graduates.

Christina is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology and joined the department in 2014. She has received both the Ellington Beavers Award for Intellectual Inquiry and Thomas Dougherty Endowed Faculty-Student Research Award. Her research interests bridge the fields of cell and developmental biology with a goal to understand how organisms regulate gene expression, cell proliferation, and tissue growth during development. In nominating her for this award, a student said “I would not be as successful as I am today if it weren’t for Dr. Swanson. I request to have her as my academic advisor because she was extremely personable and supportive. She’s passionate and effective in all of the courses that she teaches. Even in graduate school, I often find myself referencing previous lectures from her.”  Another echoed this sentiment saying” Throughout my journey as an undergrad, Dr. Swanson has been extremely committed to see me and my peers learn and grow and students. When I was struggling early on in my college career, she went out of her way to get me on track and made extra office time so I could grasp the materials. You can tell she loves to teach as she demonstrates visible passion and excitement for the subjects she teaches.” A colleague mentioned that “Across every dimension of her work, Christina brings the same generous spirit and intellectual rigor, and I cannot think of a more fitting recipient for this award.” And neither can the Faculty Awards Committee!
