SUNY Oswego senior finance major Abigail Boyce of Lockport has received the 2017 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence, the highest student recognition through the State University system.

Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher invited Boyce to an April 5 ceremony in Albany to recognize recipients. The award honors students who have best demonstrated and been recognized for their integration of academic excellence with other aspects of their lives, which may include leadership, campus involvement, athletics, career achievement, community service or creative and performing arts.

Boyce is a founding member and treasurer of Women in Business, served as team leader of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Research Challenge Team, sector leader of the Investment Club, vice president-human resources for the Financial Management Association and advertising manager of The Oswegonian.

A track and field athlete for four years and team captain for two, she has set several school records while competing in hurdles and triple jump and has finished in the top eight in her events at the SUNY Athletic Conference meet since sophomore year. Boyce has been named to the national and SUNYAC All-Academic teams.

"I will continue to challenge myself and learn more about how the markets work by completing the CFA program and pursing a career within investment analysis," Boyce said.

Admission to SUNY Oswego is competitive. U.S. News Media Group counts SUNY Oswego among the top public regional universities in the North for 2017, and the Princeton Review includes Oswego in its 2017 college guidebook "The Best Northeastern Colleges" and in its national list of "Green Colleges."

A 156-year-old comprehensive college in the State University of New York system, Oswego enrolls about 8,000 students in its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; School of Business; School of Communication, Media and the Arts; and School of Education.
