Students, faculty, and staff from the Tickle College of Engineering were recognized for outstanding achievements during the Chancellor’s Honors Banquet and Academic Honors Banquet in early May.

“These ceremonies celebrate the best and brightest of our university,” said Chancellor Donde Plowman. “As the state’s flagship land-grant institution, we are committed to teaching, research, and service. The exceptional students, faculty, and staff being honored truly understand what it means to be a Volunteer—to have the courage to step forward in leadership and service. Each one of them is committed to making our campus and our community better, and their stories are inspiring.”
