Portfolio with distinction

"Distinction" is meant as a compliment to the rare student who has submitted a portfolio with everything in top form--excellent grades, excellent research, excellent synthesis, and usually excellent service, teaching, and so on. Since 1995, 31 students have passed their portfolio "with distinction".
