Academic Achievement Award
Each department nominates a senior to receive this college-level award. The faculty nominated Allison Hannigan (METR) to receive the 15th Annual Academic Achievement Award.
Philo C. Wilson Outstanding Senior Award
The Philo C. Wilson Award is named in honor of founding member and the first chair of the Earth Sciences Department and the department’s first Distinguished Teaching Professor. Dr. Wilson passed away in 2009 and we are proud to continue this award in his memory. Dr. Wilson was an outstanding educator and is fondly remembered by many alumni. It’s quite fitting that the award for our outstanding graduating senior award is named for him.
Thomas Marrone (GEOL) and Daniel Murphy (GEOL) are this year's recipients of this honor.
