Sophia Tamura, of Wellesley Hills, MA, was recently honored at Union College's annual Prize Day celebration.

Tamura was given the Arnold I. Bittleman Memorial Prize, given to a student who has studied drawing in the Visual Arts Department and whose work, in the judgment of the faculty in collaboration with an outside juror, is outstanding.
