Pierrce Holmes Wins 2019 Ronald J. Fraser Award

Holmes, a communication and philosophy double major, received the Communication Department Ronald J. Fraser Award in Communication Studies Student of the Year Award as well as the Philosophy Department Student of the Year Award. The Springfield, Massachusetts, native was also chosen by his classmates to be the student speaker at Commencement.  

Holmes was accepted at a dozen of the most renowned law schools in the nation and has decided to attend Penn Law at the University of Pennsylvania.  

“Stonehill forced me to analyze things critically and holistically,” said Holmes. “My classes have covered such a wide breadth of subject matter that I find myself able to view things from numerous different angles or otherwise able to learn from people who have very different backgrounds — socially and academically — from my own who might be better versed in a particular topic. I feel prepared to understand all kinds of people and subject matters, which is a skill that makes me a better scholar, worker and person.”
