Vid Raturi, who will graduate this summer with an MS in Bioethics and Medical Humanities, has been awarded a prestigious Crest Award, one of Tulane’s highest honors recognizing graduate and undergraduate students.

The Crest Awards are a unified campus recognition of student efforts outside the classroom, demonstrating excellence in leadership, scholarship, and community service, as well as initiative and promise in campus leadership, and are sponsored annually by the Division of Student Affairs. Ms. Raturi received the 2022 James F. Kilroy Provost Award for academic scholarship, research achievements, community involvement, and leadership. This award is given to one senior undergraduate and one graduating graduate student a year who have excelled scholastically either through academic achievement or research, have distinguished records of involvement, and have excelled in the area of student leadership on campus.

This is not the first time Ms. Raturi has received such a prestigious award for her exceptional performance at Tulane. In 2021, Ms. Raturi received the Dean Donald R. Moore Award for service, leadership, and exceptional character.

The Bioethics and Medical Humanities program at Tulane is only two years old, and Ms. Raturi is a member of the first graduating cohort of the program. The entire program wishes to congratulate Vid on her well-deserved awards and to thank her for her excellent efforts at Tulane inside and outside the classroom!
