Delhi, NY (05/08/2020) — Two outstanding SUNY Delhi students have received the prestigious 2020 Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence. Paige Keith and Arielle Moheimani were among an elite group of students to be recognized with the award honoring State University of New York (SUNY) students who have best demonstrated their integration of academic excellence with other aspects of their lives, such as leadership, campus involvement, athletics, career achievement, community service, or creative and performing arts.

"Paige Keith and Arielle Moheimani have shown exceptional dedication to scholarship, service, and leadership," said SUNY Delhi President Michael R. Laliberte. "They have pursued excellence in all their endeavors and are well-deserving of this recognition. I am proud of their accomplishments and confident in their abilities to be successful in their chosen careers."

Paige Keith is a veterinary science technology major from Elmore, VT. A standout student, Keith has maintained a 4.0 GPA throughout her studies in one of the most rigorous programs at SUNY Delhi. Keith leads her peers through mentoring and tutoring. With a passion for large animals, she works at the college farm and is involved with Equine Club, educating the community on animal health. Keith earned an internship at Cornell University working on two research projects. She is highly respected by faculty and peers alike.

Arielle Moheimani is a mechatronics major from Homer, NY. Moheimani is graduating a semester early from the demanding mechatronics program with a 3.8 GPA. With plans to attend medical school, she is a disciplined student, peer tutor, and a role model for females in non-traditional careers. Moheimani has excelled as a student-athlete and team captain in cross country and track and field, achieving a NAC championship last year.
