Dear Nicole,

Congratulations!  I am delighted to inform you that, subject to the completion
of work for the Bachelor's degree, the University of Colorado Honors Council
has awarded you the Latin Honors graduation designation Magna cum Laude in Art
and Art History.

The award of Honors by the University of Colorado at Boulder represents the high
value that the faculty places on your achievements.  It recognizes both your
excellent academic record and the extraordinary investments of time and creativity
you have made in producing an original, academically rigorous thesis.

Your achievement inspires your fellow students and gratifies your teachers.
As an Honors student, you have carried exceptional skills and enthusiasm into
every class.  By example you have encouraged others to perform at the highest
level.  We trust that the energy and dedication that have distinguished your
academic career will continue to be evident in, and to shape, the rest of your
life.  Insofar as they do, we will all be your beneficiaries.

We now invite you, your family, and your friends to join us in celebrating your
success. The Honors Convocation will be held on Thursday, December 16, 2010 at
9:00 A.M. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom of the University Memorial Center.  There
we will present the Honors medallion and certificate that recognize your achievement.
  Feel free to invite the faculty or staff members who have meant the most to
your life and education at the University of Colorado at Boulder.  No RSVP necessary.
