Alumni Awards highlight impact at home and abroad

By College of Science

These prestigious awards honor alumni and friends for their distinguished professional and personal accomplishments.

The College of Science community gathered on Friday, November 12, 2021, for the 2021 Alumni Awards, recognizing alumni who stand out in their accomplishments across industry, philanthropy and research.
